“The officials engaged in the process have deliberately been dropped the deserving villages and included villages in the reservation list which are in-fact away from the International Border,” said Manjit Singh. Seeking action against the officials, Manjit Singh said that the Government should fix responsibility on the officers who have deprived the deserving villages from their right of getting reservation.
“The people are left with no alternative but to protest for the fulfilment of their demands and the Government must look into the same,” said Manjit Singh.
