They had disappeared after coming out of prison on bail
In a special drive conducted by the East division police, the Banaswadi police detained two citizens of Congo – Ndasi Didier, 26, and Buheshe Bahogwerhe, 27) – who disappeared after coming out of prison on bail. They were produced in the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). The FRRO, after verification, issued a movement restriction order and referred them to the Foreigners Detention Centre in Nelamangala.Unfurling the zine handed to us at the start of the walk, we use brightly-coloured markers to draw squiggly cables across the page, starting from a sepia-toned vintage photograph of the telegraph office. Iz, who goes by the pronouns they/them, explains, “This building is still standing, though it shut down in 2013,” they say, pointing out that telegraphy, which started in Bengaluru in 1854, was an instrument of colonial power and control. “The British colonised lands via telegraph cables, something known as the All Red Line.”
The festival in Bengaluru is happening at various locations, including ATREE in Jakkur, Bangalore Creative Circus in Yeshwantpur, Courtyard Koota in Kengeri, and Medai the Stage in Koramangala.
