Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Congress workers reached Indore’s Banganga Police Station in Indore on Wednesday, demanding the registration of an FIR against those responsible in the Bhagirathpura contaminated water case.
The protesters alleged that negligence by concerned officials led to serious health issues among residents and demanded strict legal action and FIRs against the guilty officers.
As the agitation intensified, police stopped the Congress workers through barricading outside the police station.
