Hamirpur BJP fumes over breaking of plaque bearing minister’s name

The state BJP on Sunday warned of an agitation if the government did not take any action against those who damaged a structure whose foundation stone was laid down by Union Minister Anurag Thakur.   A foundation plaque that bore the name of the minister and marked the Taropka to Jamli Dham link road in Taropka village was removed and thrown down, according to a statement issued by BJP Hamirpur Mandal spokesperson Vikramjit Singh Banyal. He alleged that some people are committing petty acts of vandalism under the nose of the police and administration. Earlier a foundation stone plaque in the Bhoranj assembly constituency was vandalized, he said. The BJP Mandal workers have filed a complaint in the matter and the police have registered a case.
