Patiala, July 9
To protest against recent attacks on the staff of the Water Resources Department, engineers held a protest march in different villages of the district. They were carrying black flags as a mark of protest.
The protesters, who were on their cars, visited various villages and condemned attack on staff of the department.
However, in a conciliatory gesture, protesting engineers reminded farmers that they (JEs) had good ties with them. They appealed to farmers not to attack department officials.
