Today turned to be the most inconvenient day for commuters, tourists and general passengers here when they have experienced a lot of hardship when agitating farmers from this subdivision under the banner of the Kisan Vikas Sabha (KVS) blocked traffic at three different routes paralysing the whole traffic movement for about four hours. The local police and the administration have failed to persuade them to lift blockade beyond their schedule time. The farmers have been agitating against the ban imposed on the felling of trees on their private land. They sat in dharna on the Pathankot-Mandi national highway at Jassur Chowk, near here. Similarly, traffic was blocked on Jassur- Talwara road at Raja Ka Talab and on the Jassur-Indora road at Jangrara with the active participation of local mahila mandals. The farmers have also parked their tractor-trolleys on the highways to restrain movement of any vehicle on the roads. According to Jagdeep Samyal, president of the KVS, the farmers have submitted a number of memorandums to the state government through the local administration but so far no action has been taken to lift anti-farmer ban on felling. He said that farmers would repeat the action on the same spots again on September 22 if the government did not take any action towards their demand. He said in order to intensify its stir the KVS was holding its meeting on September 15. The police has lodged cases under Sections 341,147 and 149 of the IPC against 20 farmers and nine mahila mandal members who took part in blocking traffic.
