THE ACTIVISTS of Allahabad Vikas Manch (AVM), Pratiyogi Chatra Morcha (PCM) and Doosari Azadi Andolan (DAA) staged a dharna at district headquarters in support of their demands, here on Tuesday.
The activists demanded action against English medium schools, decision of reducing seats of AU, erratic power supply and demanded a judicial inquiry into the Babbu Pandey encounter case. The demonstration was headed by AVM president Badri Chaurasia, PCM president Rajesh Singh and DAA convenor Dr Neeraj.
