In the 1980s, during the tenure of Haryana Chief Minister Bhajan Lal, a notable incident occurred involving the Liberty Shoes factory in Karnal.

The factory faced significant challenges when trenches were reportedly dug around its premises, effectively obstructing access. Liberty Shoes, established in 1954, is a prominent footwear manufacturer in India, with its roots in Karnal, Haryana.

Bhajan Lal, a member of the Indian National Congress, served as the Chief Minister of Haryana during two terms: from 1979 to 1986 and later from 1991 to 1996.

His tenure was marked by various political controversies and administrative decisions that had lasting impacts on the state's industrial and political landscape.
