Villagers divided over Punjab's desilting policy in Ropar

Villagers in Ropar are split over Punjab's new desilting policy. Some are protesting, saying it's just mining, while others support it to prevent floods. They argued, with one group saying "removal of sand and gravel... was necessary to prevent flooding." Officials say it's for flood control.
