Nagra is upset over chief minister Parkash Singh Badal's move to include senior SAD leader Prem Singh Chandumajra, who had contested assembly election against Nagra, in the committee comprising land owners and district administration.

"This is gross injustice with the people's mandate," Nagra said.

"Chandumajra's name has been included in the committee just to get political mileage, while the entire struggle for better compensation was spearheaded by me," he said.
