What is La Tomatina :
n 1945, during a parade of gigantes y cabezudos, young men who wanted to participate in the event staged a brawl. Since there was a vegetable stand nearby, they picked up tomatoes and used them as weapons. The police had to intervene to break up the fight, and forced those responsible to pay the damages incurred.
The following year the young people repeated the fight, only this time they brought their own tomatoes from home. They were again dispersed by the police. After repeating this in subsequent years, the party was, albeit unofficially, established.

Following objections from various sections of the society, the city police have denied permission to the Tomato Squash festival, organised by Dot organisation. The event planned on the lines of La Tomatinafestival held in Spain, was slated to be held at Palace Grounds on Saturday.
Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda reportedly directed the city police to not issue permission for the event. In the event that was to be held today between 12 pm and 9 pm people were to hurl tomatoes at each other. A press release from the police commissioner urged the public not to take part in the event, which was not our culture.
