Youth Congress Protests Illegal Activities In Jhabua

Youth Congress workers in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, staged a protest on Friday against alleged illegal activities in the district. The protest, led by district president Natwar Dodiyar, began at Rajgarh Naka and marched to the SP's office, where protesters raised slogans demanding action against illegal drug trade, sand mining, gambling and betting.

The protesters were met with resistance from the police, who locked the main gate of the SP's office and detained more than 10 Youth Congress leaders, including Dodiyar, State Vice President Abhishek Parmar, District In-charge Saddal Patel and District General Secretary Guddu Munia. The police cited law and order concerns as the reason for the detention.

The Youth Congress has demanded the immediate suspension of the concerned police station in-charge, alleging that the officer had misbehaved with Dodiyar. The organisation has also alleged that drug trafficking and illicit liquor networks are operating in the district, and that activists who have raised these issues have received threats.

The protesters are seeking action against illegal sand mining, gambling and betting, and have demanded a ban on the late-night sale of liquor at hotels and roadside eateries. They have also called for increased police patrolling in the district. The Youth Congress has warned that it will intensify its agitation if no action is taken against these illegal activities.
