Tents set up for farmers’ help removed, pitched again in Mohali Ph VII market

Mohali, January 7

Resentment prevailed among the farming community over alleged dismantling of tents for the farmer support camp at the Phase VII market here by the police.

Addressing the media here today, leaders of Punjab Kisan Union, Kanwaljit Singh and Amandeep Singh, said the camp tents had been dismantled by the police.

They said when they took the matter with the SSP, the latter said no such order had been issued after which the tents were installed again. They demanded that the government should clarify at whose behest the police were working to stop the campaign for the farmers.

They said some courageous youngsters of the district had been organising farmer support camps at the Phase VII market in the city to make people aware of the “black laws”. — TNS
