Chandigarh:Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Monday directed the state Director-General of Police to register cases under the Disaster Management Act against Opposition leaders and another party workers for staging dharnas in the state. Calling the dharnas by Shiromani Akali (SAD) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) 'irresponsible' and 'utter violation' of the strict curbs in place in the state in view of the pandemic spread, the Chief Minister asked DGP Dinkar Gupta to take action against them.
"At a time when people could not gather even for weddings and funerals, leaders and workers of these parties were behaving in a reckless manner, showing no concern for the safety and health of Punjabis," said the Chief Minister, adding that such behavior will not be tolerated.
