Members of the District PDO Welfare Association took out a protest rally in Changalera village in Humnabad taluk on Thursday, seeking action against the alleged assault against a Panchayat Development Officer (PDO).

Hundreds of PDOs from across the district gathered before the gram panchayat office and marched through the village.

They alleged that Nagappa Pujari, husband of the gram panchayat president, and Jangannath Chandrappa, husband of a member assaulted, Mohammad Shah Kalagi, when he refused to sanction bogus bills.

They sought criminal action against the accused.
