Farmers gathered at the Chandigarh‑Mohali border for a mahapanchayat, asserting that prolonged talks with the government have yet to yield concrete solutions to their demands.
A large gathering of farmers convened at the Chandigarh‑Mohali border on Saturday, staging a mahapanchayat to press for long‑standing demands. Leaders of the protest said that while dialogue with state and central authorities has been ongoing for months, no definitive resolution has emerged.
The participants highlighted issues such as delayed loan waivers, inadequate procurement prices and the need for clearer policy guarantees. They argued that successive assurances from officials have not translated into actionable measures, leaving the agrarian community frustrated.
Organisers called for an immediate meeting with senior government representatives to finalize a concrete action plan. The demonstration remained peaceful, with authorities monitoring the crowd to ensure law and order.
