Mysore/Mysuru: Following rumours spread by some miscreants that yesterday was the last day to submit applications to avail Rs.2,000 financial aid given in the wake of Coronavirus pandemic, residents of Mandi Mohalla and N.R. Mohalla flocked to Taluk Office in large numbers since early morning.
Within a short span of time, their numbers swelled to about 500 and there was a mad rush near the counters. Staff members of Taluk Office struggled to control this crowd and had trouble convincing them that this was just a rumour. As the crowd did not heed to their advice that yesterday was not the last day for submission of applications, Tahsildar Rakshit took the help of Police to bring the situation under control.
