AS THE massive manhunt for fugitive pro-Khalistani preacher Amritpal Singh is underway, the Punjab Police on Wednesday conducted a flag march in the area around the Golden Temple in Amritsar. According to media reports, radical Sikh preachers can surrender at the Golden Temple in public in the presence of the media. However, there is no official confirmation on the report.

Despite the massive crackdown by Punjab Police, a radical Sikh leader has been on the run since March 18. He managed to give police a slip after his convoy was intercepted in Jalandhar on March 18. Since then, he has been absconding and managed to evade arrest.

Parminder Singh Bhandal, DCP Law and Order, as quoted by ANI said, "Our focus is to make sure there are no obstructions on any of the routes leading to the Golden Temple and law and order is maintained."
