Top cops meet ahead of protest call by kisan morcha in Haryana

The Haryana Police have made extensive arrangements to maintain law and order across the state in view of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha's call for a protest on April 11. A high-level meeting was held today under the chairmanship of DGP Ajay Singhal in this regard.

Singhal said the possibility of anti-social elements attempting to disrupt law and order during the proposed blockade by farmer organisations could not be ruled out. Hence, it was essential to formulate an effective strategy to control any untoward situation, he said.

He directed police officers to activate their Intelligence network and make adequate arrangements at locations where protests had been announced.

He warned that while everyone had the right to protest peacefully, any attempt to disrupt law and order would not be tolerated. He also said there should be no disruption of traffic, and the movement of tractor-trailers should remain smooth at mandis.

ADGP (Law and Order) Sanjay Kumar emphasised strict surveillance on anti-social elements and traffic management at sensitive locations, such as highways and toll plazas.

ADGP (CID) Sourabh Singh said officers deployed at protest sites should engage in dialogue with farmers, as most issues could be resolved through communication.
