Jamshedpur, June 18: East Singhbhum District Congress Committee organized a rally to protest against the Agnipath scheme of the Central government on Saturday. Led by former Jamshedpur MP and national working committee member Dr Ajoy Kumar, the party workers marched on foot from Sakchi Aam Bagan ground to Jamshedpur Collectorate.
