Belagavi (Karnataka): In an inhuman gesture, an old age couple were driven out of their house by Karnataka's Ramdurg municipality officials on Friday.
According to sources, the incident took place at Ramdurg town of Belagavi district where an old aged couple was living by making a small hut for the past twenty years and that land was belonging to the Ramdurg municipal council.
