Udupi: Office-bearers jostle themselves during protest against sand problem
Udupi, October 22: When the lorry owners, drivers and labourers, led by Lorry Owners Association, were staging a dharna in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here on Monday against sand problem, office-bearers of the association jostled among themselves and reportedly tried to assault each other.
When hundreds of association members were staging a dharna in front of the DC office, Association leader and Sand Permit-holders Association office-bearer Uday Kumar went to the DC office to enquire licence on sand blocks. But his act has irked the agitators.
As soon as he came out of the DC office, the agitators questioned him and alleged that he was lobbying for sand permits when they were staging dharna since morning. Though Uday Kumar clarified that he has gone to the office to see the list of eligible permit holders displayed on the notice board, the agitators took him to task.
Irked by this situation, Praveen Suvarna of Lorry Owners Association tried to assault Uday Kumar by pushing him down. The police who rushed to the spot pacified the situation and took Uday Kumar inside the DC office.
