NSA: Cong workers show black flags to Munat

Raipur, November 20, 2012

Large number of Congress workers led by DCC Raipur Urban president Inderchand Dhariwal showed black flags to Housing and Environment Minister Rajesh Munat while he was interacting with people under government’s nagar suraj abhiyan (NSA) at Pt Sakharam School at Vivekanand Ashram on Tuesday.

The Congress workers reached the school sloganeering against the ruling party and urged people to join their protest movement - shahar bachao abhiyan (SBA) to mount pressure on government to provide basic facilities in urban areas.

The members of the principal opposition persistently demanded from the Minister to first ask his government to lower the hiked power tariff, increased property, water and integrated taxes, improve road conditions and ensure proper sanitation in urban areas.

The Congmen continued their demonstration for about an hour before police reached the spot and arrested about fifty of them. Meanwhile, Munat was talking to the locals about their grievances inside the school campus. Later, all the arrested demonstrators were released.

Besides Dhariwal, the prominent Congress leaders who were arrested by the police during their demonstration were Dr Niranjan Haritwal, Madan Lal Taleda, Rajesh Thakur, Alok Pandey, etc.
