City wing of the Congress supported the one day Ranchi bandh called by different organisations on Saturday and observed ‘black day’. They also cancelled the meeting of the urban congress scheduled on the day.
Around 100 workers of the Congress part took part in the procession in support of the bandh. They started their procession from Congress Bhawan and concluded it at the same destination while covering many landmarks in way including Kutchary Chowk, Shaheed Chowk and Sainik Market in the way.
The party while condemned the heinous crimes committed against little girls in recent past demanded that there should be pro-active role from society to punish the wrongdoers.
“Strong laws, fast track courts, improved law and order situations are necessary but also important is pro-active steps taken by the society in punishing and ousting such culprits. There had been gradual decline in the ethical and moral standard of society. And these crimes are fallout of such decline. We cannot improve unless our society plays pro-active role,” said Ranchi Urban Congress President Surendra Kumar Singh.
Talking about the next date for the meeting proposed for Saturday he said the meeting was called to discuss the ways and means to strengthen the party’s organisational structure and also to discuss Mission-2014 and mayoral elections. He said that meeting would be held soon.
