Proposed NSG hub at Pathankot may hit rough weather as villagers oppose move

In a fresh twist in the Centre’s proposal to set up a National Security Guard (NSG) hub in Pathankot where the Punjab government on June 15 offered to provide 103 acres of ‘provincial government land’ free of cost, the residents of Sakol village in Pathankot backed by farm union leaders Thursday staged a sit-in outside Pathankot deputy commissioner’s office and handed him a memorandum opposing the move.

The Indian Express had earlier reported how the negotiations between the Centre and the Punjab government over the piece of land had been in limbo since the project was planned more than three years ago.

The proposed move may run into rough weather as the memorandum (dated June 20) submitted to Pathankot deputy commissioner (on Thursday) and purportedly signed by several village residents, reads that villagers developed “the barren land into fertile one, the land was the main source of income (for many); and there were houses and several tube wells installed on the land in question”.
