The Punjab chapter of Kisan Mazdoor Morcha announced a rail‑block protest, giving the government until noon to meet its demands.
Punjab's Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) chapter issued a public notice today calling for a rail‑block protest if its demands are not addressed. The statement set a clear deadline: the government must comply by 12 pm on the day of the announcement, failing which the protest will be launched.
The organization said it has compiled a list of demands related to agricultural policies, though specific items were not detailed in the notice. By fixing a noon deadline, KMM aims to pressure authorities into swift action before disrupting railway services.
State officials have been briefed about the ultimatum and are monitoring the situation closely. No official response from the central or state government has been recorded at the time of reporting.
If the deadline passes without a settlement, KMM has warned that it will mobilise workers and farmers to block train movements across Punjab, potentially affecting passenger and freight traffic.
