"There was a scuffle between the residents of Kachhi Basti and the sanitation team which had gone for a morning campaign under the SBM. As a heated argument broke out between the women and the team, Khan, a local union leader and CPM worker, intervened and reasoned with the team that the women had no other option due to lack of toilets at their homes. Khan's family members demanded filing an FIR against the municipal council team and the commissioner, who they claimed, was present at the time of the scuffle. Sensing a communal tension, a larger force was deployed outside the hospital as well as the main streets to prevent any untoward incident. Authorities also tried to pacify the protesters who raised slogans and staged a dharna.
