The security personnel accompanying the convoy got down from their vehicle and rushed to the CM vehicle. They felt relieved after finding everything normal. They removed the youth from the close to CM’s vehicle as the convoy left Jawali Assembly constituency for journey ahead.

The video clip of stopping the CM’s convoy and the interaction between the youth and Chief Minister went viral in the social media on Monday. Later, the youth thanked the CM for listening to him patiently. He said he had appealed to the CM to fill vacant posts of veterinary pharmacists in the animal husbandry department.
