Villagers of the district are opposing the proposed acquisition of their farm land for the Katra-Delhi Expressway. They have blocked both gates of Sangrur DC’s office and announced to intensify their agitation in coming days.
“We have requested the authorities that we won’t give our land. The state and Central governments have failed to repair the present roads and now they want to construct another one, which won’t serve any purpose. We don’t need more road,” said Sukhdev Singh Dhillon outside the DC office.
