Highway shut for 4 hours, troubles rise

Ludhiana: The busy Ludhiana-Jalandhar bypass used to be close to visitors from 9am to 12.30pm here on Sunday, as the body of a Dalit early life who used to be injured in a much-politicized caste clash in Phagwara on April 13 and who died within the morning, used to be shifted from Dayanand Medical College and Hospital here to his native land.
Yashwant Bobby died at 1.45am and his body used to be moved from the hospital round 9am. While the body reached Phagwara in half an hour, the bypass, which falls on National Highway-1, used to be close to visitors for almost 4 hours as law enforcement officials feared a regulation and order scenario.

Police started diverting visitors on the freeway from Khanna to Jagraon, from Basti Jodhewal to Rahon Road, and from Ladhowal to within sight villages. Considering that the topic used to be sensitive, police also tightened safety within the city. Traffic on the Ludhiana-Jalandhar bypass used to be diverted back to Samrala Chowk.

Bobby had sustained a bullet damage in his head within the clash. He have been under remedy at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital here all this while. As quickly as they got to learn about his dying, all best police officers of the district reached the hospital.

Deputy commissioner of police Ashwani Kapoor mentioned the steps, despite the fact that inconvenient for the people, had been required, “taking into account the sensitivity of scenario”. “We did this to limit visitors from moving against Jalandhar,” he mentioned.

The unannounced street diversions left commuters harried. Rising mercury added to their troubles, as maximum temperature touched 39°C within the city.

A resident of Mandi Ahmadgarh, Amandeep Kaur, mentioned she used to be going to attend a wedding function in Jalandhar, but got past due on account of the diversions. “This isn't the first. There is so much inconvenience on account of these bandhs and street blockages,” she mentioned, adding that they had to meet their family at the bypass, but had to redo their plans on account of the diversions.

Pathankot-based dealer Om Prakash Gupta too got stuck on the bypass. “I had come to Ludhiana for making a purchase and am going back house. However, the diversion at the bypass has led to a lot of inconvenience,” he mentioned.

The DCP added that there have been also visitors diversions on some routes in Khanna, Kohara and Jagraon. Police had been deployed in all main chowks and spaces with a high population of Dalit group, like Jawahar Nagar, Haibowal, and close to Chand Cinema.

The routes had been opened after the body used to be cremated round 12.30pm.
