Himachal Buses Barred From Night Parking In Punjab Over Pro-Khalistani Attacks

In the wake of sporadic attacks on Himachal Pradesh buses in Punjab and scribbling of pro-Khalistani slogans on them, Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri said Saturday they will not be parked in Punjab at night until the AAP dispensation ensures their safety and that of passengers.

The windshields of four Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) buses were smashed at the Amritsar stand Friday night by some unidentified persons, while Pro-Khalistan slogans were written on some others. Similar incidents were reported in past as well.

HRTC Divisional Manager Raj Kumar Pathak said the buses that were vandalised were supposed to go to Bilaspur, Dehra and Una. Slogans were written on a Hamirpur-bound bus, he said.
