Once again, the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra vehicle of the Central Government was attacked by unknown miscreants in the State on Friday.
This time, miscreants vandalised the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra vehicle meant to highlight the achievements of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre in Athagarh of Cuttack district.
Chakradhar Muduli, driver of the vehicle, claimed that he had gone to attend a programme at Sathilo panchayat when two miscreants came and attacked him and a worker with sticks. They also hurled stones at the LED screen and tore banners.
Muduli claimed that the miscreants chased them, following which they took shelter at the police station and lodged a complaint in connection with the incident.
It is for the third time that the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra vehicle has been opposed and vandalised by miscreants in the State. On January 3, a van was vandalised in the Dhamnagar area of Bhadrak district.
Moreover, another van was also ransacked in the Basudevpur area of Bhadrak district.
