Tarn Taran, July 22

Expressing concern over the poor law and order situation in the district, the Revolutionary Marxist Party of India (RMPI) organised a day-long dharna in front of the local Sadar police station.

Party activists and people from all parts of the district participated in the dharna. Pargat Singh Jamarai, state secretary of the party, while addressing on the occasion, said the state government had failed to control the drug menace, as a result of which, there were daily reports of death of youngsters due to overdose of drugs.

He alleged that incidents of theft, looting, snatching and killing had been taking place almost daily. He said it was a serious thing that youngsters (18 to 20 years) were falling prey to drugs.

He said thieves targeted the party office a month ago in Tarn Taran too and the police have failed to trace the culprits till date. Lalit Kumar, DSP (HQs) reached the dharna site and called the party leaders to his office to discuss the issues raised by the party leaders on today.

Chaman Lal Darajke, Daljit Singh Dialpura, Baldev Singh Pandori were among others who addressed on the occasion and condemned the

poor law and order situation in the district and alleged that some police officials are drunk while on duty and higher officials are taking no action against them.
