Residents of Manangi village took out a procession and staged a dharna outside the
Deputy Commissioner’s office here urging the authorities to initiate action against those involved in selling illicit liquor in the village. The protesters took out a procession through the city and raised slogans against the officials for not initiating any action in the issue despite repeated appeals. There were many instances wherein inebriated persons have picked up arguments with innocent people in the village and indulged themselves in anti-social activities, they said.
The agitators submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner Srirangaiah and said the protest would be intensified if no action was taken.
