Only mild force used to clear congestion on Grand Trunk road, say police
Haryana Police on Saturday resorted to baton-charge on a group of farmers protesting against the visit of Chief Minister Manohar Lal and other BJP leaders in Haryana’s Karnal, the Assembly constituency of the Chief Minister. Four protesters and 10 police personnel suffered injuries, according to the police. Farmer leaders, however, claimed that several protesters suffered serious injuries. Police dismissed the allegation, saying “only mild force was used”. On a call given by the Bharatiya Kisan Union, anguished farmers blocked several highways, including the Fatehabad-Chandigarh, Jind-Patiala, Ambala-Chandigarh and the Hisar-Chandigarh national highways. Vehicular traffic was hampered at several places following the blockades.More Related News
