"The CM's programme to address the 'Adhikar Rallies' at Buxar and Bhojpur districts today have been cancelled in view of Madhubani incidents," an official spokesman said.

The rallies, however, will take place at scheduled time at the two venues and will be addressed by ministers and ruling JD (U) leaders, he said.

"The chief minister is gripped with the situation in Madhubani and personally supervising and monitoring condition in the north Bihar district where three persons were injured in police firing at Jainagar yesterday," he said.

Kumar had cut-short his 'Adhikar Rally' last evening at Kaimur and rushed to the state capital to take stock of the situation in Madhubani where protestors indulged in largescale violence in several areas.

Kumar has been touring the state to mobilise support for a massive rally at Patna on November 4 to demand special status from the Centre for Bihar. (MORE)
