Fatehgarh Sahib: Former member of Indian Parliament and Shiromani Akali Dal Amritsar (Mann) president Simranjit Singh Mann has raised apprehensions over the Indian union government’s proposal to set-up a National Security Guards (NSG) base in Amritsar.

Responding to reports about Union Government’s plans to set-up a NSG base in Amritsar on 120 acres of land, Simranjit Singh Mann raised apprehensions that whether the Indian state was planning to bring Kashmir like situation in Punjab in future?
