Hansi villagers call off T-joint protest after Khattar’s assurance

Hansi villagers called off their 61-day T-joint protest after Union power minister Manohar Lal Khattar assured a 4-inch T-joint from the Bhakra pipeline for drinking water supply to Hansi town.

The agreement was reached in a meeting at Hansi where Khattar mediated between villagers and the administration.

Villagers had planned to raise the issue at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Jind rally on July 17.

The Bhakra pipeline project, approved under AMRUT 2 scheme at ₹61.44 crore, supplies drinking water to Hansi city.
