Patiala SSP Vikram Jeet Duggal said directions for protecting crop markets and crop produce had been given to all DSPs and SHOs. A Ghanaur police team identified 11 trucks which were bringing wheat from other states. These trucks were sent to the Market Committee for verification. Further investigation would be carried out as per the Market Committee’s reports.

“Information was received that a few miscreants had been supplying and selling wheat from other states in the markets of Punjab.
