Jamshedpur: On Monday, residents of Harijan Basti in Dhatkidih, Bistupur, located within the Tata command area, staged a protest in front of the Jusco office, demanding improved sanitation, toilet facilities, and street light repairs in their community.

Led by the leader of Mukhi community, Suresh Mukhi, the protesters submitted a memorandum outlining their 5-point demands and urged the Jusco authorities to address these concerns within 15 days.
