The Eelam National Liberation Front (ENLF) on Saturday night decided to meet the Prime Minister, Mr Rajiv Gandhi, to explain the current situation in Sri Lanka. The decision was taken at a meeting of the top leaders of the ENLF here, the first in recent months. A spokesman said the Eelam National Liberation Front leaders would discuss with Gandhi the need for a monitoring agency for effective implementation of a cease-fire in the island nation as the present arrangement was not satisfactory. The meeting also discussed the recent deaths of three Tamil prisoners in the Welikada prison in Colombo.
Akali boycott
The United Akali Dal has launched an offensive of sorts in Punjab to make Sikhs boycott the coming elections in the state. Joginder Singh is addressing meetings at various places. He addressed a gathering of about 5,000 persons at Guru Ka Baag Gurudwara near Ajnala. He also addressed a gathering at Tarn Taran.
Charas seized
The north district police made a record haul of charas weighing 250 kg valued at Rs 2 crore when they intercepted a white Ambassador car (DEC 9936) near Merba Chowk. Suresh Chand, 20, the driver of the car and Karan Singh, 40, who was sitting beside him, were arrested. The contraband was neatly packed in 1 kg packages. Smuggling of narcotics and drug trafficking have become big business in the national capital.
