Badal also laid the foundation stone for the reconstruction work of total length 10.2 km along with the widening and strengthening of the paths connecting the various internal paths of the Basukinath temple. The inauguration of the passenger sheds was completed in the presence of local public representatives and respected public Janardan. Dumka District Congress President Shyamal Singh and others were present on the occasion. On reaching Jarmundi and Basukinath, the Agriculture Minister was given a grand welcome by the villagers.
A day earlier people protested against the killing of the girl and they blocked the road with the dead body near Nonihat on Dumka-Hansdiha road and are protesting over the incident.
Due to protests and road jam, the traffic system is completely disrupted, while due to this a large number of police personnel and officers have been sent to the spot. Entire Nonihat is seen transformed into a police cantonment. Her alleged eccentric lover of Maruti burnt her alive by pouring petrol on her refusal to marry and was sent to RIMS in Ranchi in a critical condition but she died during treatment. There is a boil among the local people regarding the incident and people are demanding the hanging of the arrested accused Rajesh Raut.
The State Congress Spokesperson Abha Sinha has condemned the incident of Jarmundi and said that the morale of criminals is dominating since the reign of former Chief Minister, Raghubar Das Government but during the reign of present Chief Minister, Hemant Soren Government is making every effort to curb it, but the people of BJP are politicizing it.
Sinha said that the BJP has been the maximum ruling party in the State and during the reign of Raghuvar Das Government, the work of protecting the criminals was done, due to which their morale was at the peak and during this time women were raped, murdered and other kinds of crime incidents had become common, due to which women were forced to feel insecure. During the rule of the Mahagathbandhan Government, the administrative system was fully effective and is working well in reining in the criminals, she added.
