Patna: Police opened
fire and lobbed tear smoke shells in Bihar's Khagaria district
Thursday after protestors pelted stones at the convoy of Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar and attacked the collectorate, demanding
special status for their region, officials said.
The chief minister was in Khagaria as part of his 'Adhikar Yatra'
when protestors welcomed him with violent protest. They also set
on fire police vehicles and a part of the Khagaria Collectrate
building.
Police cane charged the protestors to control them and fired in
the air to disperse the unruly mob of hundreds of people, mostly
youths demanding special status to the district and improvement of
electricity supply, an official said.
Some contractual para-teachers also joined the protest against
Nitish Kumar in Khagaria, police said.
"The situation is tense in Khagaria town but under control after
additional security forces were deployed to check anti-social
elements, who were involved in violence," Khagaria District
Magistrate Dharmendra Singh said.
Earlier, contractual para-teachers protested against Nitish Kumar
in Begusarai. They showed slippers to him. Some activists of the
National Students Union of India (NSUI) showed black flags to the
chief minister to express their anger against acute power
shortage.
Teachers also protested against Nitish Kumar in Madhubani, East
Champaran, Sitamarhi and Muzaffarpur districts.
