Mangalore, July 6: The alleged case of witchcraft in front of Mangalore City Corporation office on Tuesday might take a toll on the security agency in charge of security of the civic body office. Mayor Praveen summoned Chandrashekar Upadhya of establishments section that looks after this aspect and asked him to take action against Premier Security Services Limited to whom the job of providing security for the building has been outsourced.

Upadhya explained to Mayor that the security agency deploys three persons on night duty. Praveen said the incident is inexcusable, given that the incident took place right in front of the city corporation office and directed Upadhya to cancel the contract of the security agency. Upadhya told the mayor that fresh tenders have been invited for the security needs of MCC and financial bids have been opened and the tender would be finalised at the earliest.
