Alarmed by the soaring menace of drugs among youngsters, the city police are gearing up to revive the School Protection Groups (SPGs), which had almost fallen defunct since the outbreak of COVID-19 two years ago.
SPGs had come into force about seven years ago as a common platform for roping in the local community in the safety of school students and functioning of schools without any hiccup.

This landmark spread across 10 acres of land in Naguvinahalli in Srirangapatna taluk, features a vintage car museum that has become the latest attraction for visitors to Mysuru.
