Mangalore, Feb 5: Members of Akhila Bharathiya Vidyarthi Parishat (ABVP) staged a protest at Basaweshwara circle in the city on Monday demanding stern action against the drug mafia. Students also formed a human chain to mark their protest.

ABVP City Coordinating Secretary Vinay Horatti questioned the police for failing to crack down on drug mafia in Mangalore. He demanded a special team of police to deal with drug mafia and wanted to keep a hawk-eye on pubs and homestays in the city,
A memorandum was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner. ABVP City Deputy Co-ordinating Secretary Hithesh was present.
