Chaos erupted at a function attended by Rajasthan CM Vasundhra Raje with police resorting to mild lathicharge to disperse the demonstrators who tried to force their way to the stage to submit a memorandum to the Chief Minister.
The members of Panchayati Raj Karmchari Sangh converged at the site of 400 KV grid substation, the cornerstone of which was laid on Sunday by the chief minister in Kankani village near Jodhpur.
"On being denied permission to meet the chief minister, the demonstrators started shouting slogans, showed black flags and tried to force their way to the stage," a police official said adding "to disperse them, police resorted to a mild baton charge and arrested 26 of them."
"We arrested all of them under relevant sections for disturbing peace and causing threat to the law and order situation," another police official said.
