A group of seers today took out a silent procession and staged a sit-in to protest the police's failure to make any headway in the case of Mahant Mohandas' disappearance.
The Mahant has been missing since the intervening night of September 15 and 16.
The seers belonging to Bharatiya Akhara Parishad, Bharat Sadhu Samaj and Shad Darshan Sadhu Samaj took out a silent march from Shivmurti Chowk to Har ki Pauri amid light showers.
They alleged the police were yet to make any headway in the case even after eight days.
Apprehending that the Mahant was kidnapped, they threatened to launch a big agitation if immediate steps were not taken to trace him.
