Fazilka, June 15
Farm activists gheraoed Surjit Kumar Jyani at his office at the local grain market over a land dispute today. Jyani was conducting a press conference at his office when some farmers reached there and starting raising slogans against him. Sensing the gravity of the situation, the police persuaded Jyani and took him to a safer place.
Surjit Singh, a resident of Azamwala village, alleged some persons, allegedly at the behest of Jyani, tried to encroach upon 15 acres of land, which was under his possession. Jyani conducted a press conference and said the ownership and possession of land was with his relatives and Surjit Singh had nothing to do with it. He said his relatives had purchased the land long ago, but Surjit and others encroached upon the land. — OC
