Bhubaneswar: Tension continued in Daruthenga town on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar as villagers protest against dumping yard in the zone for the second day running on Friday.

Like yesterday, furious local people conflicted with police amid the dumping yard in the region today.

They flung stones at police, who reacted by blasting nerve gas shells to scatter the irate crowd.

Till the last report came in, dumping was under progress in the area under tight security in thepresence of BMC commissioner, Bhubaneswar DCP and BMC officials.

In Thursday, angry over the garbage dumping in the area, locals had scuffled with the police leading to minor injuries.
