But when they were not being heard, they had no choice but to gherao the complex office. However as the owner failed to fulfill his promise, farmers started a dharna outside SDM office from March 7 onwards by blocking Dhuri-Sangrur National Highway. Rajeev Gupta, President of PCS officers association, Punjab said that the Dhuri SDM has sought transfer after the incident “as it led to mental torture”. The SDM, in his letter, said that he had joined Dhuri on February 20, 2019 when farmers’ agitation was already going on. The farmers had blocked the Dhuri-Sangrur road demanding that Bhagwanpura Sugar Mill, a private sugar mill, immediately release their dues.
