Kisan Mazdoor Morcha Plans Indefinite Protest in Chandigarh Over Unmet Demands
The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) announced an indefinite protest in Chandigarh starting December 7, citing unmet demands by the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government. The Morcha seeks guaranteed procurement prices for key crops based on the Swaminathan Commission's formula, complete loan waivers, compensation for families of farmers who died by suicide, withdrawal of the revised land pooling policy, and resolution of water disputes. They also demand withdrawal of cases against farmers and repeal of certain trade agreements. The protest will escalate if talks do not occur before December 7.
