D. Manjunathaiah, CMC commissioner, said that the team had gone to the area after they received complaints from the residents that the compound wall was being constructed without leaving a road margin.

After listening to the complaints, the CMC stopped the compound wall work. About 70 metres of compound wall had been built, he said.

Claims : The university personnel there claimed that the compound work was going in their own land. But the situation is not clear. There will be a spot inspection by a team of Revenue Department on June 8.
