The Shiromani Akali Dal will hold a sit-in near the international borders on Monday to pitch for "greater vigilance along the border with Pakistan" to stop flow of narcotics into the state.

The two-hour dharnas will be held near the Attari, Hussainiwala and Sadqi check points in Amritsar, Ferozepur and Fazilka border districts respectively.

Earlier, the Punjab Congress had announced to stage a sit-in today at the district headquarters demanding dismissal of the Punjab government for allegedly inciting people against the security forces. However, it was cancelled.
