Tension prevailed at Dharna Chowk on Wednesday, after Anganwadi workers tried to stage blockades outside residences of legislators demanding that the government address their issues.
Police mobilised forces at Dharna Chowk as the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) staff and sanitation workers, along with Anganwadi workers and helpers, launched protests seeking regularisation of their services among other demands.
The Anganwadi workers entered into a heated argument with the police when they tried to prevent them from staging the protest. The police reportedly took several union leaders and workers into preventive custody later.
