Ms. Mufti was scheduled to interact with members of self-help groups enrolled under the Central UMEED self-employment scheme in the event organised by the State Rural Development Department. Around noon, when Ms. Mufti was seated on the dais in the lawns, hundreds of participants were seen running helter-skelter. However, it turned out to be a photo-op for Ms. Mufti. The day-long event, where participants were to share their success stories, lasted just 20 minutes, and Ms. Mufti had to leave the venue in a huff.
