The Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee has begun a five-day protest outside the residence of Punjab minister Harbhajan Singh ETO, raising demands related to crop prices, electricity, groundwater and the return of tractors.
The organisation said the current phase of demonstrations would run from 14 to 18 September at different locations. Its demands include minimum support price arrangements for crops and action on agricultural power and water concerns.
KMSC chief Sarwan Singh Pandher accused the Punjab Government of failing to address farmers' issues and said the organisation was not being offered talks. These are claims made by the protest group; the report cited for this brief did not include a detailed government response.
Pandher also alleged that tractors were taken from farmers after an earlier protest at the Khanauri border and called for their return. The group warned it could intensify the agitation if talks or action do not follow after 18 September.
