Udupi : The local unit of the Janata dal Yuva Morcha organised a protest outside the Udupi Taluk Office on November 19, Monday to protest against the several discrepancies in the taluk office. Former MLA UR  Sabhapathi led the agitation.

In his address, Sabhapathi pointed out that the people visiting the office were harassed by the officials and even expressed his resentment over the style of functioning of the tahsildar.

The protestors even tried to lock up the taluk office and were arrested. Among those present included JD(S) Working President Gulam Ahmed and Manjula V Prasad, MahilaMorcha Secretary.

However, the Udupi tahsildar Abhijin has refuted the allegations and said none were harassed at the taluk office.
