BJYM workers had protested against the Hemant government
BJYM workers broke barricades during a protest rally against the ‘injustice’ done by the Hemant Soren government and its ‘failure’ to fulfil election promises. Police used tear gas shells, water cannon and fired rubber bullets to disperse the BJYM workers. Both sides claimed that several protesters and policemen were injured in the scuffle. The district administration had invoked Section 163 of the Indian Civil Security Code, 2023. Section 144 was imposed within a 500-metre radius of Morhabadi ground following the protest.
