A protest march was held in Dumraon, Bihar, under the banner of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation and the All India Progressive Women’s Association (AIPWA), with a primary demand for ensuring participation of Dalit and backward-class women. Protesters also raised questions over the law and order situation and chanted slogans against the administration.

Police personnel were deployed during the march to prevent any disruption. The protest concluded peacefully, with no reports of any untoward incidents.
Activists warned that if their demands are not addressed promptly, they would be compelled to intensify their agitation. They also urged the government to engage in dialogue to resolve the issues.
Local residents said such movements draw attention to social concerns and prompt administrative action.
The protest march in Dumraon reflects growing concerns over social justice, women’s rights, and law and order, with organized efforts being made to raise these issues.
