Belagavi: Police have refused permission to the job aspirants led by the All Karnataka State Students’ Association (AKSSA) to hold a protest in Belagavi on Wednesday.

Belagavi City Police Commissioner Bhushan Borase has confirmed that AKSSA had applied for permission to stage a protest on Wednesday but was denied in order to maintain law and order during the Winter Session of the Karnataka Legislature that is going on in Belagavi.

“Intelligence Department report has referred to the problems that the citizens in Dharwad faced during an AKSSA protest in the city. Since the Karnataka Legislature is holding its Winter Session in Belagavi currently, maintenance of law and order is the priority,” he added.

Borase stressed that staging a protest without official permission will force the Department to resort to take legal action.
