One person died in forest attack, locals protest, lathi charge on protestors

After the death of a person due to forest attack in Mudigere, angry locals protested.

Mudigere police have lathi-charged the protestors who were protesting against forest encroachment.

A laborer named Arjun was killed in a forest attack yesterday in Urubage village of Mudigere taluk while he was going home after finishing his work in the garden. Condemning this attack, Arjun was holding a protest in front of the Forest Department office in Mudigere.

He also tried to besiege the forest department. In this case, no matter how hard the police tried to control the protestors, they could not. Therefore, the staff lathi-charged him as he did not listen to the police. There is an atmosphere of anxiety in the place.
