Former Daltonganj Congress MlA KN Tripathy on Tuesday took out 24-kilometre march from Salatuwa to Daltonganj demanding setting up of security post at Chando and Salatuwa in the Daltonganj Assembly constituency. Hundreds of his supporters marched with him. Sources said this is the first instance of this kind in this year to rally for security post.
Speaking to The Pioneer Tripathy said, “I along with my thousands of supporters walked to the divisional commissioner’s office in Daltonganj to give a charter of demands for setting up security post at the two places under this assembly constituency.” He said his stir for security would go on till his demands are met.
The leader said at these two places, there prevails a sense of insecurity among the populace and for this, he has taken upon this arduous task of walking. Tripathy and his co walkers were greeted by the villagers enroute to Daltonganj. Sources said the setting up of security post takes its own time as there is a whole lot of formalities for it the big one is the permission from the Home department and the finance one to bear the expenditure of it.
Since there is no election right now, one and all believes the intention of Tripathy as crime scenario in these two rural sides of Palamu needs to be taken care of, said a police official.
