According to information, before the rally, party leaders and workers along with large number of villagers gathered at Utkristha maidan, where they sang the National Anthem. Followed by this, they marched towards district collector’s office. At collector office, they submitted memorandum to district collector Prabal Sipaha addressed to state governor.
