The Shiromani Akali Dal held a sitin near the Attari international border on Monday to pitch for “greater vigilance along the border with Pakistan” to stop the flow of narcotics into the state.
Two-hour-long sit-ins will also be held near Hussainiwala and Sadqi check points in Amritsar, Ferozepur and Fazilka border districts respectively.
Earlier, the Punjab Congress had announced plans to stage a sitin today at the Amritsar district headquarters to demand the dismissal of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-led government in Punjab for allegedly inciting people against the security forces. However, the event was cancelled.
