Evacuation of border villages is relevant only in conventional warfare: Channi

Faridkot, Oct 1 (UNI) Punjab Congress Legislature Party leader Charanjit Singh Channi today said the precaution taken by the government to get the border area villages was relevant only in case of conventional warfare as with the modern weapons, cities even 500 km away from the border were not safe.
Mr Channi while leading the 'Jawani Sambhal Yatra' on the fifth day said majority of the border area residents had decided to stay put as crops were about to ripen and there were also several other issues involved.
He pointed out the phase when houses in the border belt used to be kachha but over the years, the situation had changed and people had built pucca houses. He said the way the state government went about making announcements in the border area villages to pack up within hours created panic.
