"As a village, we’ve made a collective decision to inform the outsiders that if they want to stay, they must follow the rules. Even societies have rules and guards. After verification, those with a good record will stay, while those with a criminal record will have to leave. There are around 500 immigrant workers here, but if anyone — Punjabi or non-Punjabi — wants to create chaos, they will all have to abide by the rules," India Today quoted a local resident as saying.
