Panchkula June 20 A group of farmers on Sunday held a protest hours before Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar was to attend an event here with police taking some of the protesters into preventive custody before the CMs arrival. Shortly before Khattar was to inaugurate a wellness centre at Thapli Nature Camp here some farmers carrying black flags to protest against the new agri laws used alternate routes in an attempt to reach closer to the venue police said. A small group among them tried to cross the police barricades put up near the camp but when police stopped them they squatted on the road. Later the protesters were put into a police bus and taken into preventive custody. There was heavy police deployment in the area as Khattar was to reach the venue after inaugurating a few adventure sports activities in the Morni area.
