Reports said Reshi once again went to ARTO Office on Saturday and again discussed basic problem of students related to transport especially in Mandi Fatehpur area.
Reshi while talking to ET, reiterated his demands and sought State Transport Commissioner to take action against official Reshi said failing in any case he along with students will come on the roads |
