Punjab businessmen exit social media amid rising gangster threats

Businessmen in Punjab are increasingly withdrawing from social media due to growing fears of gangsters. Promotion pages on platforms like Facebook and Instagram are being deleted, leading many to revert to traditional business methods.

After a recent shooting incident at a showroom in Kapurthala during broad daylight, bullion traders, cloth merchants, and prominent industrialists have distanced themselves from social media to ensure safety.

Frequent shooting incidents across Punjab have intensified criticism from opposition parties against the government, but despite the backlash, the situation remains unchanged.
