Illegal miners ‘attack’ ex-MLA in Ajnala

A considerable chunk of the Ravi embankment has been eroding fast in Ajnala due to rampant illegal sand mining that can wreak havoc in nearby villages.
Former Ajnala MLA Amarpal Singh Bony, along with his supporters, took a tour of interior areas of border village Ballarwal in Ajnala sector where he came across five to six gorges dug around 40-50 feet deep by mafia.
According to information, a group of people allegedly hurled abuses at Bony and his supporters and also pelted them with stones, smashing windowpanes of their cars.

Identical was the scene in villages like Sarangdev, Khanwala, Rerewal, Kot Rajda, Darie Musse and Jassar in Ajnala.
“Our only fault was that we dared to raise voice against their misdoings. We identify the culprits but they have political shelter and police will be a mute spectator,” they said.
