Protest against MNS continues in Bihar

25 Oct 2008, TNN

Angry Biharis continued to throw stones and damage shops owned by their own brethren for the fourth day running on Friday, in protest against the attacks on job-seekers from the state in Maharashtra by MNS goons.

While the intensity of the protests waned substantially, the fact that the rage of Bihari students is still simmering, continues to spell bad news for people travelling through Bihar with trains hit by delays and disruption.

In Patna, anti-MNS protesters, armed with bricks and sticks, smashed glass panes of some shops and pulled down arches put up by shopkeepers for Diwali. Some of them also pelted stones on the police outpost. The agitating youths, however, dispersed as soon as the police reached the spot.
