Guruharsahai lawyers on dharna over transfer of 44 villages to Fazilka

Ferozepur, April 17, 2018: The lawyers of Guruharsahai are on indefinite dharna over the issue of government’s notification on the transfer of 44 villages of Guruharsahai sub-division to Fazilka district, demanding an immediate withdrawal of the decision.

Ronjat Monga President Bar Association said the Guruharsahai lawyers would continue their protest till the demand was met.

In fact, earlier these were attached to Fazilka district for civil and revenue purposes and the villagers had to travel 20 km to Guruharsahai to pursue their cases with the police.  All these 44 villages are attached to the police post in Amir Khas village – 5 km from Jalalabad town on Ferozepur-Fazilka road and now the villages will be attached to police station Sardar Jalalabad.

The controversy over the transfer of villages to Fazilka continues since the bifurcation of Ferozepur district carving Fazilka district. However, with the issuance of the fresh notification, the jurisdiction dilemma has come to an end.

However, when a deputation of advocates approached Rana Sodhi, MLA, he assured to get back the attachment of Amri Khas village with Guruharsahai.
