Voters in Kolar village boycott polling; demand closure of MSIL bar outside village
Kolar: Urging the closure of the liquor shop opened by the government-owned Mysore Sales International Limited (MSIL) in Begli Benjenahalli of Kolar taluk, the people in the village staged a protest and also boycotted the polls this year.
Although the election officers visited the village to urge them to compulsorily exercise their right to franchise in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, but failed to convince the locals. The protesters were adamant in their demand for the closure of the MSIL bar, which has been opened on the outskirts of the village.
The people of Begli Benjenahalli had earlier staged a protest outside the office of the Excise Department, demanding a denial of permission to MSIL to open the bar.
While the village has 540 voters, it is reported that none of them has cast vote in the current elections.
