The Trinamool Congress started a protest in the demand of restarting the work at the earliest. The work is being undertaken by the National Highway Authorities of India On Monday, leaders and workers of Dabgram-Fulbari block Trinamool Congress committee staged a sit-in protest in the Fulbari Bazar area.
