BHUBANESWAR: The Naba Nirman Krushak Small (NNKS), a farmers’ outfit, on Thursday staged a massive protest in Bhubaneswar against the alleged collection of hefty fines and harassment of common people by the state Transport Department in the name of Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC).
Members of the outfit engaged in a brawl with the police while trying to gherao the residences of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Transport Minister Bibhuti Bhushan Jena in Bhubaneswar.
The agitation led to chaos in the area as a number of protesters attempted to cross police barricades near the Chief Minister’s residence.
