Bathinda SSP begins public outreach

Bathinda SSP Jyoti Yadav, who found herself at the centre of a social media storm following the recent clashes between farmers and police in the district on February 6 and 18, has launched a public outreach programme, “Sampark”, by meeting local residents over tea at a stall.

On Sunday morning, Jyoti, dressed in a tracksuit, had tea with locals and spent time interacting with them. She listened to their problems and suggestions. Jyoti, wife of Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains, said, “During the meeting, emphasis was laid on collective efforts to build a drug-free society and spread awareness among citizens. People were also encouraged to promptly bring any issues or concerns to the notice of the police. Every individual’s contribution matters for the welfare of society.”
