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.
