Mysore/Mysuru: Tension gripped Rammanahalli village in the outskirts of the city this morning as hundreds of enraged villagers attempted to vandalise a liquor shop which suddenly re-opened this morning despite their severe opposition.
One H. Kalleshi of Davanagere had opened a liquor shop at Rammanahalli, located off Bannur road, about 6 months ago after taking a building owned by one Naga of the village, on rent. But due to severe opposition from the villagers, the shop had shut down a few days later. However, following relaxation in lockdown curbs, the Liquor Shop Manager Veeranna, reportedly with support from some localites, re-opened the shop at about 8 am this morning, when hundreds of villagers gathered in front of the shop and forced the closure of the wine store.
