The members of the Hynniewtrep Youth Council and other social organisations got involved in a scuffle with police personnel in front of the CM's residence after the policemen did not allow them to hold the demonstration there, a senior officer said, adding that the police, however, permitted them to organise the protest in a nearby place.
