Protest at municipal office after sanitation workers beaten up by police

Tired of police brutality in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur, a large number of sanitation workers reached the municipality office and protested against the Uttar Pradesh police. They also demanded the suspension of police personnel who forcibly stopped and beat up cleaning workers on the roads.

Rampur:Reports of police personnel beating up people during lockdown have constantly been coming up from Uttar Pradesh's Rampur. Complaints have been received about on duty police officers disturbing the people without cause. People with lockdown passes, even other employees are allegedly being harassed and beaten up by the police.

One such case came up today when a large number of sanitation workers stopped their work and gathered outside the municipality office where they raised slogans against the police administration, accusing the police officers of beating the cleaning staff.

CO City Vidhya Kishore Sharma also reached the spot and tried to pacify the situation. However, all the employees stood their ground and demanded that such policemen who harass and beat up sanitation workers even with lockdown passes and uniforms, be suspended. The employees withdrew only after the CO City promised to take action against such police officers.
