Tight security in Punjab during statewide bandh

Sikh youth and members of the Gurudwara (religious temple) Prabhandhak Committee in Jammu took to the streets on two-wheelers, raised slogans and burnt tyres in support of a shutdown call given by several Sikh organisations in the region. An effigy of Dera Sacha Sauda Chief Ram Rahim Gurmeet Singh was also burnt. They demanded that the governments of Punjab and Haryana and central government bring the criminal to book.
