The protesters complained to Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar that they were not alerted about the floods in time and it was the district administration's failure.
The Madhya Pradesh government transferred Sheopur's collector and superintendent of police on Sunday, a day after Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar was mobbed by angry locals during his visit to flood-hit parts of the district. On Saturday, when Mr Tomar visited Karatia Bazaar in Sheopur city, which is part of Morena Lok Sabha constituency represented by the minister, people jeered at him and were heard saying he had come too late. Some people threw mud and small dry sticks at the vehicles in his convoy, eyewitnesses had said. In an order issued on Sunday morning, the Madhya Pradesh government shifted Sheopur district Collector Rakesh Shrivastava as the deputy secretary in the state secretariat.More Related News
