Braving the inclement weather and police barricades, the residents and activists on Tuesday staged a massive protest in front of the co-generation power plant against the dilly-dallying approach of the authorities concerned on the issue of ash emanating from the Nawanshahr plant.
The residents and members of various social, religious, political, trade, students’ and women organisations under the aegis of Lok Sangharsh Manch took out the march and gheraoed the power plant. The Manch leaders – Jasbir Deep, Kulwinder Warraich, Sohan Singh Slempuri, Jarnail Singh Khalsa, Billa Gujjar and several others – took part in the protest march and addressed the gathering as well.
