After receiving the memorandum, Deputy Mayor Shah came outside her office premises to address the group. In her address, she said that she hadn’t come to desolate anyone but to settle them down.
While addressing the group, a woman attacked Deputy Mayor Shah with slippers. The agitating locals had come to hand over a memorandum to stop the sale of 17 bighas and 15 katthas of land given to Ram Janaki Dulha Bhagwan Kuti by the local social workers and donors of Bela village.
