Locals resist eviction from defence land

Bengaluru: Tension prevailed near the Mysore Lancers Military Mosque and temple here on Wednesday as a group of locals opposed the Parachute Regiment Training Centre’s (PRTC) attempt to evict them from the premises. While PRTC officials claimed that people were staying on the premises illegally, locals said they have filed a petition in the Karnataka high court against the eviction and that the officials must wait for the outcome.
