The protestors are reportedly demanding a hike in wages under the MGNREGA Act 2005. They were protesting under the flag of Sanjha Mazdoor Morcha, a joint front of eight labour unions.
SSP Sangrur commenting on the scuffle said, “No lathicharge was done, and the protest is going on in a peaceful manner. An aggressive faction of protestors indulged in a scuffle, which was later controlled by the police. We have taken cognizance of their demands.”
