MLA aide shoots social media reels at restricted area of KRS dam, draws ire

MANDYA: An aide of a Congress MLA managed his way into restricted areas of the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) Dam near Srirangapatna to shoot reels for social media. Shockingly, the security personnel did nothing to stop him, it is alleged.

The man, identified as Madhu, is said to be an aide of Congress MLA Ramesh Bandisiddegowda. He shot reels while walking on the dam, which is a restricted area, and uploaded them on social media.

This comes close on the heels of an incident where a youth exposed himself to danger near the gates of the dam. Also, youths have been having parties at the backwaters of the dam which have gone viral on social media. Locals have vented their anger at the authorities for allowing such activities unchecked.
