The protesters called it ‘government negligence.’ During the protest, an effigy of CM Mohan Yadav was reportedly set on fire using petrol, despite police warnings.

Protests erupt across state
Acting upon the matter, police have filed an FIR against AAP state secretary Amit Sharma, district president Amitabh Pandey, Rohit Gupta, Ashish Rai, and several others for organizing the protest without permission and endangering public safety.
