The Federation of Organisations and Associations of Mysuru and the Hotel Owners’ Association have condemned the assault on the owner of a hotel in Bamboo Bazaar by a police officer accusing him of not complying with the night curfew rules.
In this regard, the Federation has decided to file a complaint with the Commissioner of Police, highlighting the alleged harassment caused to the legitimate traders and businessmen in Mysuru by police personnel in the name of enforcing curbs over pandemic and the night curfew.
While urging the Commissioner of Police to render justice in the case as the hotel owner was slapped and also beaten with a stick by the police officer for keeping the hotel open, the Federation has threatened to stage a protest if no action was taken in connection with the case. The incident of the police officer thrashing the hotel owner has been captured in the hotel’s CCTV.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
