Punjab: Deputy Inspector General of Police Patiala Range Mandeep Singh Sidhu on Thursday said that proper care is being taken of detained farmers at Shambhu border.
DIG Mandeep Singh Sidhu while speaking with the reporters revealed that movable items like tractors and trolleys are being relocated three kilometres away from the border.
He also highlighted the cooperation of farmers during the operation and emphasized that authorities are ensuring the well-being of those detained.
“A large area has been cleared at the Khanauri border and movable things like tractors and trolleys are being shifted 3 km away from the border. If someone wants to take the trolley from there, he can show his identity with proof and the trolley will be handed over to him after proper entry. Yesterday, the farmers cooperated with us. Proper care is being taken of the detained farmers,” DIG Patiala Range said.
Earlier today, farmers united under the banners of the All India Kisan Sabha and Bharatiya Kisan Union, staged a protest march to the residence of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in Karnal.
This came after Punjab Police on Wednesday removed farmers from the Punjab-Haryana Shambhu Border and Khanauri Border in Punjab who were protesting over various demands.
Police also removed temporary structures erected by farmers at the protest site.
Several farmer leaders including farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal who is on an indefinite fast and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha leader Sarvan Singh Pandher were detained by the Police.
Meanwhile, Punjab Minister Harpal Singh Cheema defended the Aam Aadmi Government’s action and said that the action was taken as they wanted to open the Shambhu and Khanauri borders.
