Bathinda, At least 35 farmers were injured when a raging bull charged into farmers staging a dharna near the Bathinda District Complex on Thursday.
Seventeen of the injured were women. Protesters accused the district administration of deliberately setting the bull on them to disrupt their protest demonstration, aruging that there was no way the animal could have slipped past police barricades unnoticed. Farmers also alleged that health officials had failed to provide ambulance for the wounded.
Policemen on duty, meanwhile, said the bull came from one end of the street — where the Dunes Club was located — and stormed out of the other end before they could act.
Farmers have organised statewide protests against the Punjab government’s agricultural policy, which they claim has destroyed the state’s farming sector. Similar protests will be held in Patiala on September 15, Amritsar on September 21 and Jalandhar on September 24.
