Security breach in Chandigarh as protesters break through barricades, reach near governor’s house
Supporters of Shiromani Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) broke through police barricades at Gaushala Chowk in Sector 45, Chandigarh, and marched towards the governor's house.
The protesters, starting from Gurdwara Amb Sahib in Mohali, demanded the release of Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh and other Sikh prisoners.
Police used water cannons and mild baton charges but failed to stop the march; protesters damaged a water cannon vehicle.
Senior police officers including inspector general Pushpinder Singh and others negotiated with demonstrators to restore order.
The protest caused severe traffic disruption in Chandigarh during peak hours, affecting schoolchildren and commuters.
