ABVP burns effigy of collector, stages sit-in

Members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) took out a rally against collector Neeraj Kumar Singh and raised slogans against him.

They squatted on the road outside their college gate. On getting information, sub-divisional magistrate Mohini Sharma, sub-divisional officer of police Parag Saini, Tehsildar Shailendra Badonia and other officials rushed to the spot.

The ABVP members then burnt an effigy of the collector. They were angry, because Singh did not meet them to listen to their problems.
