Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday asked the farm unions not to turn people against themselves by blocking roads
Farmers under the banner of Samyukt Kisan Morcha blocked the Jalandhar-Phagwara section of the Jalandhar-New Delhi National Highway near Dhanowali village
Mann said if the farmers do not shun the practice of blocking roads, a day will come when people will stop sympathising with them
The ongoing farmers` protest has affected the movement of vehicles from Jammu, Pathankot, and Amritsar via Jalandhar towards Ludhiana, Chandigarh
With police diverting traffic towards alternative roads, the commuters had a harrowing time.
