About 100 Shiromani Akali Dal (Mann) workers were arrested on Thursday shortly before the 'Bharat Uday Yatra' of Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani was to reach Ludhiana from Chandigarh.

The activists were arrested in small batches in and around Khant, Ranwa and Khamano villages of Khanna and Fatehgarh Sahab districts, police sources said.
