SANGRUR : Protesters from different organisations and unions from Punjab demonstrating outside chief minister Bhagwant Mann’s residence and other places in Sangrur on Sunday ended their protest after assurances from the CM and concerned departments that their demands would be met.

They all concluded their protest on Sunday.

Members of covid warriors and police aspirants said that they have concluded their protest but 4 member each from their unions will remain on protest sites till the acceptance of their demands.

AAP’s MLA from Rajpura, Neena Mittal on Sunday, climbed atop a water tank of the civil hospital in Sangrur to convince the two unemployed female PTI teachers, who had been protesting there since last week, to come down by connecting them with education minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer. Hayer assured them to accept their demands and later they came down from the water tank and concluded their protests.

“It has been just three months since the AAP has come to power. We will solve everyone’s issues,” Mittal had said.
