Congress members staged a demonstration in Jaipur demanding clarification on the SIR issue, prompting police to deploy water cannons to disperse the crowd.
Earlier today, Congress workers gathered in central Jaipur to protest what they described as a mishandling of the SIR (State Internal Revenue) matter. The demonstrators demanded a transparent inquiry and immediate corrective action from the state administration.
Police units arrived at the scene and, after attempts to negotiate, resorted to water cannons to break up the assembly. The forceful dispersal caused the crowd to retreat, and the protest was halted within a short span.
No serious injuries were reported, and authorities said the situation was brought under control without further escalation. The incident underscores the growing tension between the opposition and the state government over fiscal policy issues.
