United Kisan Morcha Gathers in Mohali, Delays Protest Move as Farmers Strategize for the Future

Farmers Protest Latest Updates

Farmers Protest Latest Updates: Amidst the ongoing farmer protest in Mohali, the planned march towards Chandigarh has been temporarily deferred. The Bharatiya Kisan Union Mohali spokesperson, Ranveer Singh, announced that farmers from the United Kisan Morcha (Samyukt Kisan Morcha) would assemble at the airport road dharna site today, with a pivotal meeting scheduled for Monday morning to determine the next course of action.

Farmers, in solidarity with the nationwide movement, have chosen to gather and strategize in Mohali, holding discussions on their plan moving forward. The scheduled march to Chandigarh, initially planned for today, has been postponed pending the outcomes of the Monday meeting. The strike, declared for three days until November 28, echoes similar sentiments expressed at the Singhu-Tikri border protests in Delhi.

Notably, Allegations against the central government include unmet promises related to minimum support prices and the withdrawal of cases filed against farmers. Farmers express dissatisfaction with the lack of fulfillment of agreements made during previous agitations, intensifying their resolve to address these concerns.

Chandigarh Police, anticipating the farmers' movement, has implemented full deployment on routes from Mohali and Panchkula. Paramilitary forces have erected barricades in Mohali to regulate the situation and prevent unauthorized entry into Chandigarh. 

Prominent farmer leader, Harinder Singh Lakhowal, affirms that a dharna will now take place at the Chandigarh border. The United Kisan Morcha (SKM) is set to convene a meeting tomorrow, where decisions regarding the Chandigarh March will be finalized. While the current strike is scheduled for three days, preparations indicate a potential escalation from Mohali to Delhi in protest against the central government.
