The CPI(ML) staged a strong protest on Friday in Buxar district against the Chaiti Pipar firing incident, which occurred on July 4. The incident involved gunfire allegedly by individuals connected to the sand mafia. Activists and local residents demanded an impartial investigation into the matter and stringent action against the perpetrators and the sand mafia.

Protesters alleged that the sand mafia is highly active in the region, disrupting law and order through their illegal activities. They also accused the administration of shielding the sand mafia. CPI(ML) leaders stated that the firing incident has created an atmosphere of fear in the area, leaving common people terrified. They demanded a high-level inquiry into the case and swift arrest and legal action against the culprits.

The party's district secretary emphasized that such incidents are recurring due to a lack of strict action against the sand mafia. He urged the administration to immediately halt illegal sand mining and transportation. During the protest, activists chanted anti-government slogans and submitted a memorandum to the local administration, warning of larger agitations if their demands are not met promptly. A significant number of women and youth also participated, seeking justice.
