Patna, Sep 21 (IANS) Hundreds of Bihar's ruling Janata Dal-United activists Friday ransacked the party's state headquarters here protesting against rampant black market in fertilizers.
Police said the slogan-shouting JD-U workers from Dhanarua in Patna district staged the protest on the busy Birchand Patel Marg. |
"They shouted slogans and demanded action against officials... Some protesters entered the office, tore down banners and posters and damaged flower pots," a police official said.
The Bihar government last month urged the central government to provide urea to overcome a serious shortage.
Fertilizers, mainly urea, are smuggled out of Bihar as demand for them is high in Nepal and Bangladesh.
