Ferozepur, January 6

Deputy Chief Minister

OP Soni, who was here to take part in the stone-laying ceremony of the PGI Satellite Centre, was also reportedly stuck at a roadblock on the Ferozepur-Zira road for 45 minutes yesterday.

He had to make a distress call to police officials, who dispatched additional police force, to bail him out.

Soni claimed his convoy could not move further due to a traffic snarl-up on the road owing to the farmers’ protest.

Later, an IG-level officer came to the spot and got the traffic cleared for the further movement of the Deputy CM’s convoy. — TNS
