The protesters blocked the Kharar-Chandigarh main road causing heavy traffic jam.

Addressing the protesters, BSP state present Jasvir Singh Garhi said the security of Dalits in the state was in danger and added that police officers were not filing complaints or taking action against those responsible for suppression of Dalits.
