Shopkeepers at Mochpura Bazaar and former councillor Gurpreet Singh Khurana staged a protest over a matter related to a religious place here on Tuesday. The protesters alleged that a shutter had been installed last night, blocking the way leading to a gurdwara in the area.
Khurana said, “Some persons installed a shutter on the main way leading to the Gurdwara Sahib at night. Thus, we sat on dharna to mark our protest today. We are demanding the opening of the way.”
MLA Surinder Dawar also visited the protest site and talked to the police regarding the matter.
The protest continued for around two hours, due to which commuters suffered. The protestors ended the dharna after getting assurance from the cops that the matter would be probed.
