Muktsar,
The district administration and the police today sealed the local Truck Operators’ Union complex on the Jalalabad road here.

Though Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh had disbanded the truck unions across the state, yet the office-bearers of the truck union here were still charging monthly fee from the operators, which had divided the operators.

Some of them had recently met the Deputy Commissioner and SSP and lodged a complaint .

Police personnel visited the union complex and sealed it this evening. The trucks parked there were also moved out.

Charanjit Singh, Naib Tehsildar, Muktsar, said, “The truck unions have been disbanded by the state government and here two groups were having a dispute over it. Thus, the union complex was vacated today on the orders passed by the SDM.”

Meanwhile, Rajpal Singh, SDM, Muktsar, said, “We had an input of a possible clash between the two factions of the truck operators. Thus taking precautionary measures, the naib tehsildar and the police were sent there. Besides, there is a case underway in my court regarding the union land.”

Meanwhile, Baldev Singh, who was vice-president of the Truck Operators Union before its disbanding, said, “I just heard that the administration has sealed the union complex.”
