Haryana Police Keeps 130 Individuals Under Strict Watch Ahead Of Union Home Minister's Rally
In preparation for Union Home Minister Amit Shah's upcoming rally in Sirsa, Haryana police have placed approximately 130 people under close surveillance, including farmer leaders, sarpanchs, and workers from opposition political parties. These individuals have already received notices from their respective police stations requiring them to provide court undertakings affirming their commitment to maintaining law and order during the event, Indian Express reported citing police officials.
According to the report, a police official said: "The main reason for issuing these notices or keeping a few people on the lookout is to ensure that law and order are not disrupted during the VVIP event on June 18th. These are the people who have a history of causing havoc, particularly at political rallies. Such precautionary measures have been implemented to avoid any untoward situation at a location where large crowds are expected".
Concerns have also been raised within the state police about potential protests by certain farmer organisations, which may resort to displaying black flags in order to express their displeasure with the union home minister, the report said. As a result, a few farmer organisations and opposition leaders have announced plans to hoist black flags atop their homes as a symbolic protest gesture.
