Jalandhar, January 20
A depot holder of Mehrajwala was gheraoed by residents of Mehrajwala, Chak Wadala, Gatta Mundi Kasu, Mandala Channa, Dhakka Basti, Bhanewal and other villages on Wednesday. They alleged that ration due to be distributed to them under the Pradhan Mantri Ann Yojana, hadn’t been disbursed to them during the pandemic. Six families of Mandala Channa alleged that free ration papers given to them were taken back by a local inspector. Now, they were running from pillar to post for it.
After hours of demonstration, the Lohian police reached the spot with the depot holder, but the demonstration continued due to non-satisfactory answer by the depot holder. Labourers warned of blocking roads if no action was taken.
