Chaduni threatens to block GT Road if farm stir cases not withdrawn

Chaduni said they had dropped the earlier plan to block the Ambala-Delhi rail track near Mohra in Ambala Cantonment on November 24 “after railway authorities withdrew all cases” registered against the farmers during the stir.

Earlier, Haryana home minister Anil Vij had said that most of the cases registered by state police have been withdrawn and the process is underway to drop the rest of them.

A total of 294 cases were registered during the farmers’ protest against farm laws, out of which permission to cancel 163 cases had been received from the state government, a statement from the minister’s office had said.

It had said that in 98 cases, the court has allowed to withdraw the cases.

In four cases, a permission was pending from the state government, three had been stayed by a Sonipat court and a case had been listed untraceable in Palwal while the process to withdraw the rest of them was underway, it had said.

Reacting to the BKU’s claims, the state government officials said that majority of the cases registered during farmers agitation have already been withdrawn. They added that, till date, a large number of FIRs have been cancelled while the procedure to cancel other cases is going on. The government officials also said that there are 164 such cases in which permission of withdrawal have been given and 98 cases are such in which the courts of law have permitted to cancel.
