Two persons were arrested for misbehaving with and manhandling an Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) worker in Takiya area of Bhauriganj locality in Gonda on Monday.
As per reports, ASHA worker Beena Yadav reached Takiya area to collect data and make a list of people who had recently returned from other states and countries as part of the protocol to combat coronavirus spread.
