The protest demonstration was led by Ajit Singh, former minister, Pradip Kumar Dey, president, Silchar District Congress Committee, Ranjit Roy, ward commissioner, and Simanta Bhattacharjee among others. A copy of the memorandum was also forwarded to the Deputy Commissioner of Cachar, S Lakshman, IAS, for his perusal and necessary action. Niharendra rayan Thakur, chairman, Silchar Municipal Board, was not present in his office during the protest demonstration. So were all other ruling party vice-chairperson and ward commissioners. The memorandum was therefore handed over to the head clerk of the Board.
