On Tuesday, farmers from Jagara gathered outside the Sub-Collector’s office in Ludhiana to protest against unresolved issues affecting their community. The protest was organized by the Indian Farmers Union (Ekta) and was led by prominent local leaders Dakuanda and Burj Gil.
The demonstrators, numbering in the hundreds, carried placards demanding timely resolution of their grievances and urging the authorities to take immediate action. They also called for better support for agricultural infrastructure and fair pricing for their produce.
