Santiniketan (WB): As a security measure for Prime Minister's visit in Santiniketan, the police had sought help from youths for surveillance of the area from tree tops, a bid cancelled following senior officials' intervention.
The local police deployed a group of 20 to 22 youths aged between 18 and 22 to keep vigil in the area from tree tops with the District Intelligence Bureau providing them with security passes.
The boys were hired to keep vigil for two days and were promised Rs 100 per day since Friday for their services, police said.
