Ambala SP shifted after black flag row

Description

Two days after Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar was shown black flags in Ambala and vehicles in his convoy attacked by farm union activists, the state government on Thursday shunted out Ambala superintendent of police (SP) Rajesh Kalia. The government appointed Hamid Akhtar, a 2008-batch IPS officer serving as SP (security) CID, as the new SP of Ambala. Kalia, a state police service officer, has been posted as SP (security) CID. On Tuesday, BKU (Charuni) activists protested against Khattar during his visit to the city to address meetings for the civic body elections. On Wednesday, the district administration charged 13 people with "attempt to murder" and "rioting".
