Jamshedpur: After wandering for hours for treatment after snake bite, treatment was done. The relatives of the patient allege that the treatment was done | BLiTZ
A controversy centred around the burial of a tribal man at Ulidih in Mango led to a stand-off in Jamshedpur on Tuesday, prompting police to step in and negotiate a truce, which finally happened after over seven hours of arguments amid frayed tempers.
The body was finally cremated at Subernarekha burning ghat at 6.30 pm after the tribals were persuaded by the police and administration. Officers who had gathered there by noon, an hour after the tribals had arrived there with the body, saw merit in the argument of local residents who insisted that the land where the tribals wanted to bury the body belonged to the government and was not a cemetery.
