In the viral video on social media a girl Nirmala is demonstrating her demands but no hearing is being held. Nirmala said why don’t the officers listen to our demands… or else make us collectors. We are ready to be. Sir will fulfill everyone’s demands. If you can’t, then the girl further asks – for whom is this government made. As if we had come here to beg. Do something for our poor sir. We come from so far away tribal people come here by paying the fare in buses.

Hearing this, all the girls standing next to him start laughing. The girl further says that we are ready to become a collector. Will fulfill everyone’s demand, if you can’t, then sir. For whom is the government made, as if we have come here to beg. Make some arrangements for our poor sir. We come from far away tribal people. How much rent do we pay?
