Ranchi: The Jharkhand assembly on Monday witnessed uproar as opposition BJP legislators created a ruckus over "deteriorating" law and order situation in the state.
The BJP MLAs raised slogans and trooped into the well of the House, demanding a debate on the issue.
"The law and order has crumbled in Jharkhand... A coal trader was shot at in Ranchi, then two persons, including a seer, were murdered. On Sunday, an NTPC official was also killed," Marandi said in the House.
