Youth Congress gherao Orissa Police station

Jharsugura, Dec 25 (UNI) Hundreds of Youth Congress activists today gheraoed the Jharsuguda police station demanding removal of outside contractors from Vedanta Company for misbehaving with local labourers.

The labourers had alleged that the Manager of the Manisha and Anand Earth movers and his associates confined them in a room and misbehaved with them. This led to wide spread resentment among the Congress activists in the town.

Youth Congress activists gheraoed Jharsuguda police station, protesting police action and demanding stringent action against the company.

They later withdrew the agitation after the police assured them to take action after proper enquiry into the allegation.
