Meanwhile, the protest in front of the administrative complex hare for the past four days continues and is expected to go on for more days. The police have made elaborate arrangements to maintain peace and closed the road from both sides.
There are more than 50 shops on the road leading to the administrative complex and business of all of them has come to a standstill due to the protest.
A shopkeeper, Rajinder Kumar, who has a shop of apparels on the road, said that one must protest against wrong things and everybody has the right to protest, but one must think from all perspectives and common people should not suffer. “We have suffered a hug loss in our business for no fault of ours,” he said.
