Another Lapse In Nitish Kumar's Security, Crackers Burst At Public Meeting

One of the mischief makers have been caught and taken to the police station, sources said.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's security was breached again today at a public meeting at Nalanda where some young men burst crackers, triggering panic for a while. One of the mischief makers have been caught and taken to the police station, sources said.

Mr Kumar has been visiting all seven assembly constituencies of his parliamentary constituency Nalanda as part of his Jan Samvad Yatra, meeting people and getting to know about their problems.

Today's public meetings were being held in Silao, Pawapuri and Rajgir.

But at the grounds of Gandhi High School in Silao, when Mr Kumar was meeting people as part of a mass dialogue programme, there was a blast just 400 meters away from the Chief Minister. It was followed by a near-stampede as panic-stricken people ran for exits.
