Heavy Security Deployed for CM Bhagwant Mann’s Visit to Ludhiana

In Ludhiana, Congress workers staged a protest against Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, leading to police detaining several protesters. The protest took place ahead of Mann’s scheduled visit to the Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in the city. Given the tense situation, a heavy police force was deployed in the area to maintain law and order.

Congress workers gathered in large numbers, raising slogans against the Chief Minister and his government. The demonstrators accused the Mann-led administration of failing to address key issues concerning the people of Punjab. As the protest intensified, the police intervened and detained several Congress workers to prevent any disruption to the CM’s visit.

Authorities had already anticipated potential protests and took precautionary measures by deploying a large number of security personnel around the ITI premises. Barricades were set up at multiple points to ensure that the Chief Minister’s visit proceeded without hindrance.

Political tensions between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress have been escalating in Punjab, with the opposition party frequently criticizing the Mann government’s policies. Congress leaders claimed that their protest was a way to highlight the dissatisfaction of the people and demand accountability from the government.

Despite the heavy security arrangements, the opposition’s demonstration reflected growing unrest among political rivals. The situation in Ludhiana remains closely watched as political activities in Punjab continue to heat up ahead of upcoming elections and policy announcements.

On the other hand, AAP leaders dismissed the protest as a politically motivated act. They claimed that the Congress, which had lost significant ground in Punjab, was resorting to such demonstrations to stay relevant in the political landscape. "The people of Punjab have rejected the Congress. These protests are just a desperate attempt to regain lost ground," an AAP spokesperson said.

The situation in Ludhiana remains tense, with political activities heating up ahead of upcoming elections. Security forces continue to monitor the situation closely to prevent any further clashes between the rival parties.
