The police today rounded up three Bharatiya Kisan Union (Azad) leaders as a preventive measure after they tried to stage a protest in front of Cabinet Minister Aman Arora at Longowal village. Those apprehended were Jaswinder Singh Soma, Kulwinder Singh Soni and Happy Namol.

Arora was at the village to lay the foundation stones of three development works, including that of a 30-bed Community Health Centre (CHC). As per reports, the BKU (Azad) leaders had chalked out a programme to ask questions from Arora regarding the uprooting of kisan morchas and other issues of the farmers, but the police did not allow them to go ahead.
