Farmers remove boulders near Golden Hut Dhaba in Kurukshetra
Description
A group of farmers under the banner of the BKU (Charuni) on Thursday removed the boulders placed by the NHAI to strengthen road safety near Golden Hut Dhaba in Kurukshetra. But as the news spread, officials of the Sadar Thanesar police station and the NHAI reached the spot and placed the boulders again.Farm unions and the SAD have been accusing the state of targeting the dhaba owner by restricting the entry to his place by placing boulders because he had been helping the famers in their agitation.An NHAI official in Ambala said: “To curb accidents on the NH-44, all unauthorised cuts in front of private properties are being closed. Now, cemented blocks are being placed to close the cuts on the highway from Panipat to Jalandhar.”Thanesar Sadar SHO Rajpal said: “The NHAI had placed the boulders to close illegal cuts but these were removed. If any complaint is received then action will be taken accordingly.” — TNS
