In view of Surat Singh Khalsa’s protest, the district police chiefs in the state have been told to tighten security arrangements for the ruling Badal family members – Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal and Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal.

A senior officer said there were inputs that radical Sikhs might try to disrupt functions of the Badals. “We have been told not to let large groups meet the Badals. Only acquaintances of the Badals or persons checked by the police will be allowed to meet them,” he said. The officer further said they had been told not to allow any radical Sikh meet the Badals. However, Varinder Kumar, IGP, Intelligence, denied the issuance of such an alert.
