Sikh Protesters Block Ambala Highway Demanding Action Against Anti-Khalistani Leader
In Ambala, Sikh community members protested by blocking the Amritsar-Delhi National Highway, demanding the arrest of Gursimran Singh Mand, president of the International Anti-Khalistani Terrorist Front, over an alleged assault incident on August 7. The protest escalated after police used tear gas and cane charges to disperse demonstrators, resulting in injuries to several police personnel and protesters, including Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee president Jagdish Singh Jhinda. Despite an FIR registered against Mand, protesters continued to demand the release of detained Sikh youths. Traffic was restored after six hours following police intervention.
