Punjab Election 2022 | PM's first rally in the state after scrapping of farm laws postponed

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Punjab's Ferozepur, which was supposed to be held on Wednesday, has been postponed after his convoy was stuck on a flyover in Bathinda for 15-20 minutes due to blockade by some protesters.

The Union Home Ministry described the incident as a 'major lapse' in his security.

This would have been Prime Minister Modi's first rally in Punjab after the three controversial farm laws were withdrawn.

The prime minister was also scheduled to lay the foundation stones of development projects worth over Rs 42,750 crore, including the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra expressway and a PGIMER satellite centre.

The projects also included four-laning of the Amritsar-Una section, Mukerian-Talwara broad gauge railway line and two new medical colleges at Kapurthala and Hoshiarpur.
