BARNALA: Under mounting pressure of various protesting teachers and unemployed unions, the residence of Punjab education minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer at Barnala town has been fortified from all sides.
The fortification is further tightened every Sunday, when activists turn up in large numbers to protest against the policies of the government. The main entrance leading towards the residence has been blocked by putting up barricades, while the rear wall of a petrol pump just opposite the main gate of the residence has been raised at least twice.
