Ranchi, July 17: The Jharkhand Pradesh Youth Congress on Thursday organised a protest against the Central Government’s ethanol policy after holding its State Executive Committee meeting at Congress Bhavan in Ranchi.
The meeting focused on strengthening the party’s organisational structure, expanding its membership drive, and discussing issues affecting the public.
