Ludhiana: A mid-day meal worker died after her dupatta caught fire when she was cooking food in the kitchen of a govt school in Machhiwara Kham villag.
Protesters from Samrala’s Mushakabad village and nearby areas staged a protest on the Ludhiana-Chandigarh highway against the construction of a biogas plant in the village. Commuters suffered as the road was jammed near a private school in Dayalpura village. The protesters demanded the work on the plant be stopped and it be shifted from the village.
