Vehicles owners protest police action against unauthorized parking vehicles on roads
Mangaluru, July 15: Protesting against the action on parking vehicles before the marriage halls, the owners of the vehicles staged a protest against the police here on Sunday.
Marriage programmes were arranged more than three places in the city on Sunday. But the people who came to marriage functions parked their vehicles on roads illegally. Last week, some residents in the city urged the police in a phone-in programme, to take action against parking vehicles on roads. The police department also responded to that demand.
On Sunday, vehicles were parked on the roads in some places before the marriage halls. Based on that assurance, the police locked the wheels of the vehicles thus parked on the roads. But the vehicle owners who did not expect this action protested against the police who initiated legal action against the vehicle owners.
