Prayagraj: At a time when the boatmen of Baswar village were waiting for the arrival of Congress general secretary and state in-charge, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday morning, a group of carpenters reached the banks of river Yamuna mysteriously and started repairing the damaged boats, which the villagers alleged had been damaged in police action on February 4.
Priyanka had recently taken a dip at Sangam in Prayagraj on ‘Mauni Amavasya’ and had travelled in boatman Sujit Nishad’s boat who told her that atrocities had been committed on local boatmen in Baswar village in the trans-Yamuna area after some people complained that illegal mining was being done through boats.
