Amidst the tense situation in the city, a major decision has been taken today. Following the Phagwara bandh call by Shiv Sainiks and Hindu organizations, markets are completely closed, and the Phagwara Bar Association has also passed a resolution declaring a ‘no work day’. Following this decision, all lawyers in the city will abstain from work in the courts today and will join the protest, demanding security and peace in the city.
The Bar Association stated that this decision is not merely a protest, but to send a unified message regarding the safety of Phagwara. The lawyers clarified that the police administration should take immediate, strict action to bring the situation under control. Phagwara Bar Association members stated that they will take to the streets today to end the atmosphere of fear prevailing in the city, intensify the demand for the arrest of the culprits, and ensure justice. This strong decision by the lawyers has further strengthened the citywide protests.
