Allow us to walk home, they plead

Mandi Ahmedgarh, March 27

“Just allow us to walk to our native places in J&K, Gujarat, UP and Bihar,” plead those stranded at construction sites, madrasas and slums in Punjab towns, despite the administration making efforts to provide them essential commodities with the help of social organisations. Ahmedgarh SDM Vikramjit Singh Panthey and DSP Karanveer Singh claim to have roped in certain organisations supplying free ration and cooked meals to the needy.
