Sit-in ends before CM's house

Bhopal, Sep 10 (UNI) An indefinite sit-in that began in front of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's residence today, by Sehore district's Khatpura villagers alleging ouster by the district administration, ended after an assurance from Mr Chouhan.

More than two dozen families were part of the agitation.

''The law forbids habitation by encroachment on forest land.

However, the District Collector has been directed to extend other facilities,'' the Chief Minister said.
