Mysuru: Alleging that ruckus was being created by those comming to the wine shop adjacent to the hostel which was disturbing their studies and urging the authorities to close or shift the wine shop to other place, the inmates of Ambale Annaiah Pandit Rural Girls Hostel on Chamaraja Double Road, staged a candle light protest in front of the hostel here on Wednesday evening.
The hostel inmates, who assembled in front of the hostel, shouted slogans against the authorities and urged them to take steps to shift the wine shop.
