New Delhi, Dec 12 (IANS) Two MPs from Punjab on Monday demanded that farmers should be given fair price for their produce and the Electricity Amendment bill be reviewed.
Raising the issues pertaining to farmers during Zero Hour in Lok Sabha, Congress MP from Patiala Preneet Kaur and Shiromani Akali Dal MP from Bhatinda, Harsimrat Kaur Badal demanded that all cases lodged against farmers, which were made against them during their year-long agitation, should be taken back.
Preneet Kaur said that the Electricity Amendment bill should be reviewed by the Government, while Harsimrat Badal expressed disappointment over the fact that despite assurances by the Centre, it had been introduced in Lok Sabha in the Monsoon session.
Preneet Kaur said that Swaminathan committee's recommendations should be implemented and all the innocent farmers who were jailed in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, should be released.
She also demanded that the crop insurance scheme should be implemented.
Badal, while speaking in Zero Hour, said that all cases against agitating farmers should be taken back.
During a meeting with Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav and other officers, who called on him at his official residence here, Mann said that gangsters and drug peddlers were patronised by the previous governments.
The accused were identified as Neelam (35), Sunita (35), Neeta (34) and Savitri (34). DCP (Dwarka) M. Harsh Wardhan said the staff of Anti-Narcotics Cell received a secret information that some women sell drugs at Indira market near Anaj Mandi, Najafgarh.
According to the official, the main accused, Abhishek Chhabra was running the fake call-centre for the last one month. The victims of the scam are mainly the people residing in the foreign countries.
13 people have been arrested in the case so far after the first arrest was made on May 30, a day after the murder of Moosewala. Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, who is a member of the Bishnoi gang, had claimed responsibility for Moosewala's murder.
Senior advocate Maninder Singh, representing Sharma, contended that new FIRs are being registered, and added that they will pick her up. The bench said: "No coercive action to be taken against present or future FIRs in relation to the same telecast..."
The hospital said that the patient was offered admission but she did not return with the admission paper. The next day the Senior Resident on morning GRR duty was informed that a patient was delivering outside. A team from GRR was dispatched immediately and the patient's delivery was taken care of, reads the statement issued by the hospital.
