Rohtak, Apr 1 : To keep the law and order situation under control during upcoming general elections, police in Haryana are keeping a strict vigil on wrestlers.

There are hundreds of wrestling training centers and police fear that during elections political leaders may use wrestlers as musclemen.

Police has received many complaints in the past regarding involvement of wrestlers in booth capturing and other unlawful activities during elections.

Rohtak, Nov. 20 : It’s election time and the wrestlers from Rohtak are in high demand. It may sound a bit strange to many people elsewhere but at least not here.

After all any political leader gains attention by the number of musclemen he or she is accompanied by while electioneering. And, many candidates facing elections in neighbouring States of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh perceive the wrestlers as a must.

Following such a demand, almost every other Akhara in Rohtak region in Haryana today presents a barren look. Although not much activity is witnessed at the Akharas but no one is complaining.

Rohtak, Nov. 17  With the onset of winters, the shopkeepers selling the traditional sweets Rewri and Gajjak in Rohtak city of Haryana are having a busy time.

The twin sweets are very popular and hold a huge demand not just within the State but in other the parts of the country and abroad. Beyond Haryana and rest of India, the Rewri and Gajjak find their lovers in the markets of North America, England, Europe and the Middle East.
