Chandigarh, February 1

Amid growing concerns over more than 100 persons from Punjab reportedly missing in Delhi-Haryana region since the Republic Day Tractor Rally, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday announced helpline number 112 to report all such instances.

the Chief Minister said his cabinet colleagues had met the Union Home Minister on the issue and he would personally take up the cases of those missing with the Ministry of Home Affairs.

“Our hearts are with those fighting for their rights at the Delhi borders,” said the Chief Minister, appealing to the people of Punjab to immediately dial 112 to report any case of a person missing during the Tractor Rally, even if no cases had been filed with respect of such persons so far.

“We will do everything possible to locate those who are missing. We are trying to get details and will ensure that they return to their homes,” the Chief Minister said during a virtual event attended by sarpanches of various villages after they voiced their concern.

Additionally, the state’s Advocate General appointed 70 lawyers to provide free legal aid to farmers facing cases in the national capital.

The Chief Minister’s directives and appeal came a day after Samyukta Kisan Morcha’s statement on Sunday that over 100 persons were missing since the tractor rally in Delhi.
