Protesters in Satna, Madhya Pradesh, obstructed the road in demand for funeral assistance, using a deceased individual's body as a demonstration.
In the heart of Madhya Pradesh, a peaceful protest took place on Sunday at Podi intersection under the Nagaud police station in Satna. The protesters, hailing from the nearby village of Veerpur, were rallying against the denial of financial assistance for funeral expenses due to the lack of a Sambal card.
The deceased, Mahendra Kushwaha, did not possess a Sambal card, a government-issued document aimed at providing financial assistance to the underprivileged. His family was left in a difficult situation, as they were denied aid for Mahendra's funeral expenses.
The protest was a response to this unfortunate turn of events. The body of Mahendra Kushwaha was carried nearly five kilometers from his house and placed at Podi intersection as a symbol of the protesters' distress.
The blockade caused disruption of traffic movement, but the protesters remained steadfast, demanding immediate redressal of their pending grievances regarding Sambal cards. They accused officials of negligence in issuing these cards.
Officials, recognising the gravity of the situation, assured the protesters that the matter would be handled on priority. Police and local administration tried to pacify the agitating villagers, promising necessary action regarding their grievances.
However, the head of the local administration or police in Nagaud, where the protests over the Sambal card case took place, is not publicly specified in the available information.
The protest served as a stark reminder of the importance of government-issued aid for those in need. The incident underscores the need for swift and efficient action to address such issues and ensure that no family is left in a similar predicament.
