Bantwal, Jul 27: The taluk and Panemangalore Block Congress staged a massive protest at B C Road here on Tuesday July 26 urging the district administration to solve the irregularities in issuing title deeds to those who have constructed houses on government land, as a committee has come into existence in the taluk to solve this issue as well as irregularities in issuing ration cards and to solve several issues related to revenue department.

He appealed to the enlightened people to be ready for a struggle against the anti-people policy of the BJP-led state administration.

Congressmen Harikrishna Bantwal, Ashwani Kumar Rai, M S Mohammed, and Mamata Gatti addressed the gathering on the occasion.
