CM APPEALS TO KISAN UNIONS TO CALL OFF STIR

CHANDIGARH : Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday appealed to various kisan unions in the state to postpone their planned protests against the anti-farmer ordinances of the central government in view of the restrictions to check the spread of Covid-19. “Restraint is the need of the hour,” he said, calling upon the unions to help the state government in checking the spread of the coronavirus. “Though the issue of the farm ordinances was vital to the state’s interests, any physical protests at the moment will harm Punjab,” he said, advising the unions to use social media to express their anger and garner support.
