EXODUS OF MIGRANTS CONTINUES

Despite repeated assurarances by the

employees and the district police, the exodus

of migrants is continuing after the incidents of

December 3 and 4. This was followed by a

voilent clash between the police and the

radical Sikhs on December 05, when the

radical Sikhs protested against the granting

of permission to the Jagran of Divya Jyoti

Jagriti Sansthan of Ashutosh, on which one

sikh, Darshan Singh was killed as a result of

police firing.

On the whole both the sides will suffer. Being

a agricultural and most cultivated area of

India, farmers will be handicapped without the

labourers from other states; and; and the

labourers from outside will suffer fro

likelihood of loosing their already meagre

income.
