Lineman Shifted To Hospital Forcefully In Patiala
The early morning in Patiala has witnessed a crackdown in a lineman who had to be forcefully shifted to a hospital. The man was on hunger strike waiting outside the power corporation of the state. The police had to forcefully bring to medication one protestant named Rajinder Singh. Rajinder Singh was set on a fast unto death. His fasting started on the 27th of May. He stands as the unemployment union’s vice president.
He was taken to Rajendra hospital and medical college. This was done even with the men protesting the police resistance. The quick deterioration in his health was why the doctors advised for immediate treatment. Although Singh along with colleagues were reluctant and kept protesting the police force, the police were somehow able to get him to a hospital.
The police justified by saying that they used force not to lift the protest but to save his life. This was as per reports on a speech given by a DSP of Patiala region. Most of the protesters were qualified yet unemployed linemen. Thus, the uprising was based on good grounds. The protest took a huge shape and the linemen almost went on the warpath. A comparatively cold protest had been on for the last 2 years or so. This mass protest was staged well and gained a lot of attention. This stirs up of events was basically unexpected of the state government. So, the police weren’t alert enough and had to take sudden actions.
The president of the union of linemen Pirmal Singh gratified the situation by saying that the government’s policies lead them to intensify this event in Patiala. Another member, Gurpreet Kaur has also stated to pursue a fast unto death. The demand of the protestors; include an issue of appointment letters.
