Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar faced protests from angry locals who pelted stones at a couple of vehicles in his convoy during his ‘Seva Yatra’ at Chausa in Buxar district on Wednesday, official sources said.

The trouble started when a large number of villagers gathered alongside the road as they wanted the convoy of Chief Minister must stop at Chausa and listen to their grievances on electricity and water supply in the area.

As the convoy did not stop at the place, angry locals pelted stones damaging a couple of government vehicles.

The Chief Minister’s convoy, however, went ahead.

No harm was caused to anyone in the stone-throwing as policemen chased them away, the sources said.
