Meanwhile, a local court has accepted the bail applications of 20 HDT supporters and ordered their release. They were arrested on the charges of blocking the coastal highway at Surbandan cross.

The internet service and Whatsapp, which were blocked due to protests, was restored in the port city after being suspended for over a week.
