Jhajjar, March 3

Meanwhile, a joint delegation of three organisations, including Inderjit Singh and Capt Shamsher Malik of All India Kisan Sabha; Savita and Munmun of Janvadi Mahila Samiti; and advocate Attar Singh of All India Lawyers’ Union, visited the village on Tuesday and talked to the people, who were still fear-stricken.

“We interacted with the people of both the communities, who have been living with amity and harmony. They have assured to maintain it in the face of any outside provocation. We were, however, surprised to see that even streetlights have not been installed in the village though three days have passed,” Inderjit said.
