Tek Ram Kandela to remain khap head

Jind, June 26

Tek Ram Kandela will continue to remain president of the Kandela khap which consists of 28 villages in Jind district. The decision was taken at a mahapanchayat held in Kandela village today. The mahapanchayat was reportedly called for change of guard.

The Kandela khap had maintained distance from the Jat stir that concluded recently, but a khap-faction led by Ishwar Singh had extended support to the agitation and demanded removal of its president.

Ishwar Singh, a member of Kandela khap, said a meeting would be held again on July 3, for discussing the leadership issue. —OC
