Necessity is the mother of invention, even in cases of innovative protests.
Maharashtra Baldhana's locals, in a striking show of inventive dissent, performed "Nagin dance" at the PWD office to protest against the PWD officials’ apathy! The protesters brought garlands with them and started dancing after the officials refused to hear their grievances.
As expected, Twitter had a field day watching the men turning into snake-charmers for a day.
