Mysuru: Expressing concern that illegal migrants from neighbouring countries may have settled down in the city and outskirts, members of Akhila Bharat Hindu Mahasabha staged a demonstration at Gandhi Square in city recently, demanding the authorities to carry out an intensive verification drive of illegal migrants. 

Addressing the protestors, Mahasabha State President Manoj Halangal said that as Mysuru is the cultural capital of the State and a historical and tourism city, it is imperative for the authorities to maintain law and order. Citizens are concerned about reports that several illegal immigrants may have settled down in the city without any records or documents, he said and urged the district administration to carry out a thorough verification drive.  

Demanding legal action against those found living sans documents, Manoj wanted the authorities to inform the public about the measures taken. 

Mahasabha’s Bhajarangi Mahesh, Mahadevaswamy, Girish Shivarchaka, Kiran Debur, Tilak Devitandre, Nanjundaswamy and Prasanna Kumar were present.
