Punjab is ‘seething’! With crime rates on the rise, the Mann government finds itself in the crosshairs of the opposition.

Punjab is in an uproar following the murder of Parvinder Singh Jhota, who had raised his voice against the drug menace in the state. The Bhagwant Mann-led government is now under intense scrutiny as law and order appear to be collapsing. Consider the candlelit marches—one such march was held in Rupnagar, Punjab, in memory of Parvinder Singh Jhota. Furthermore, students in Chandigarh staged a strong protest against the government and the state of law and order. Similar scenes unfolded in Amritsar and Mansa, where protests were also held to condemn the murder of Parvinder Singh Jhota.
