Mandi Mohalla group clash: MLA Nagendra instils confidence among residents

May 22, 2019

Mysuru: MLA L. Nagendra has urged the Police Department and the MCC to clear the encroachment on footpaths in streets around Mission Hospital, Mandi Mohalla and thus pave the way for free pedestrian movement and parking of two- wheelers.

Speaking to press persons here yesterday after visiting the families of the victims of the group clash that took place near Mandi Mohalla Market over a trivial issue on Sunday night, Nagendra alleged that a group comprising members of a community had damaged houses, cars, two-wheelers and other properties and even threatened residents.

Accusing shop owners of encroaching footpaths around Mandi Mohalla Market, Pattegar Street, Kabir Road, Akbar Road and Mission Hospital Road, Nagendra said that the encroachments had given very little space for pedestrian movement and two-wheeler parking. This encroachment had often caused frequent verbal duels between shop keepers and Sunday’s incident was a result of long standing dispute among shopkeepers, he said.

Nagendra further alleged that miscreants have smashed the window panes of the residence and also damaged houses and vehicles of several other residents.

The MLA urged the Police to take stern action against miscreants who had damaged properties over a trivial issue.

Corporators Rangaswamy, Guru Vinayak, leaders Viji, Raju, Srinivas, Somasekhar Raju, Sathyamurthy, Harsha, Jusco Ravi, Badreesh, Chikka Venkata and others were present.
