They are yelling insults and pushing each other. At one point, someone throws bricks, making the fight more dangerous.

Last month Govt increased taxes on Cigarettes and because of that small advance and small gold fake cost increased by Rs. 2 per piece. This is not our concern but many of our volunteers are angry and since last one month they were asking us to raise this issue.
