Satish Mehra, Deputy Director (Information and Public Relations Department), who has been authorised by the district administration to brief media on the issue, announced on Sunday evening that search operation in the dera are over.
“Officials in charge of various sectors made for the purpose of search have submitted their report to the Court Commissioner AKS Pawar who has to submit the report to the Punjab and Haryana High Court,” said Mehra.
He said that the mobile internet services as well as train services to and from Sirsa will resume from tomorrow.
However, curfew will remain in force near Dera Sacha Sauda, though, he said, relaxation will be given to the residents to make necessary shopping.
Speaking on the sidelines of a state-level convention of Denotified Tribes in Fatehabad today, Khattar said he would not comment on the outcome of the search because the report has to be submitted to the Punjab and Haryana High Court by the Court Commissioner.
Answering a question, Khattar denied that there was any delay on the part of the government to begin search operations.
He said since the search was to be carried out under orders and supervision of the court, it was necessary to wait for the orders.
When Khattar's attention was drawn to the allegations that family members of the Dera chief were allowed to take away huge cash and other valuables in trucks, Khattar said those who had houses in the Dera and wanted to move out were allowed to leave with their belongings.
Earlier, the authorities began the operations of the third day today by opening seals of some rooms which were sealed during the first two days and beginning technical analysis of items found there.
Sources said that some rooms on the top floor of Mahi Cinema Hall and room number 51 and 52 of the dera near its administrative block were sealed on the first day of the operation.
