Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Fatehgarh Sahib, The Congress activists, who are on an indefinite fast, resumed their protest after four days of government holidays. They have been protesting outside the district administrative complex, demanding the transfer of sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Pooja Syal Grewal. She had an argument with Congress MLA Kuljeet Singh Nagra.
The SDM alleged Nagra had abused her on September 16 during a meeting of the Sirhind Municipal Council, while Nagra claimed the SDM violated protocol and humiliated him in public. The matter is still pending before Assembly Speaker and the Patiala Divisional Commissioner is probing the matter.
Harinder Singh Bhambri said since they wanted to corner the government, they decided not to hold the protest on government holidays. He said they would not protest on Wednesday and Thursday due to government holidays on the birth anniversary of Maharishi Balmiki and Guru Ram Das.
