“In adherence to these directives, the SDM concerned at Singhu border has taken swift action by issuing notice for the display of banners. These banners are set to be installed at the Singhu border and 150 meters ahead at the Kundli border, prominently conveying information about the applicability of GRAP-IV regulations in Hindi.
