NHAI officials assaulted in minister’s presence: Jai Ram
Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur today alleged that National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) officials were assaulted in the presence of a minister at Bhattakuffer, where a building had collapsed.
He said that Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu should take action against the minister and dismiss him from the Cabinet. “This type of anarchy will not be tolerated in the state under any circumstances,” he said
Thakur called the incident shameful and condemnable and said two NHAI officials were called to the spot in the presence of the minister, police and administration officials and were then beaten up in a closed room. He alleged that the most shameful part of the assault was that it happened in front of a senior administrative officer and police personnel, and the victims were not even taken to hospital. “The attack on the NHAI officers is an example of declining law and order in the state,” he added.
