On Sunday, farmers began a permanent sit‑in outside the Ludhiana District Collector’s office, arriving in tractor‑trailers as part of a statewide movement that started on August 30.
Ludhiana witnessed the start of a permanent farmers' protest on Sunday, with several tractor‑trailers pulling up outside the District Collector’s office. The demonstrators set up a continuous sit‑in, signalling their intent to maintain a long‑term presence at the administrative centre.
The protest is part of a broader campaign that began across Punjab on August 30, when farmers initiated similar pukkas (permanent morchas) outside district commissioner (DC) offices throughout the state. The coordinated action reflects growing agrarian discontent and a demand for dialogue with authorities.
By arriving in tractor‑trailers, the participants underscored the agricultural community’s reliance on farm equipment and highlighted the scale of mobilisation. The Ludhiana demonstration adds to the momentum of the statewide movement, which aims to pressurise the government on pending farmer‑related issues.
