Sangrur : Congress members today blocked the main road near the Deputy Commissioner’s residence in Sangrur to protest the non-issuance of newly prepared blue cards to poor persons, including Dalits, in Sangrur Assembly constituency.
Led by state Punjab Youth Congress general secretary Poonam Kangra, they raised slogans against the Badal government and demanded the cards be issued at the earliest so that the poor could get wheat and pulses at subsidised rates.
Kangra lashed out at the SAD-BJP government saying that party workers had submitted memorandums several times, but the authorities, under the “pressure” of SAD-BJP leaders, had not issued the cards so far.
