Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today visited Barth Sahib Gurdwara, which is providing shelter to those evacuated from Punjab’s border villages and, expressing solidarity with the farmers, said they would be allowed to harvest their crop.
“I took up the matter with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. He held deliberations with BSF officers after which orders were issued to allow farmers across the fence to harvest their crop,” he said.
