Farmers Hold Candlelight March in Chandigarh on Lakhimpur Kheri Incident AnniversaryPreviousNext

Farmers and worker organizations marked the fifth anniversary of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence with a candlelight march in Chandigarh, paying tribute to four farmers and a journalist killed in the 2021 incident. The protest, led by the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, faced police restrictions, causing traffic disruptions but remained peaceful. The case against accused Ashish Mishra is pending in court, while farmers continue to demand justice and fulfillment of government commitments, including compensation and a judicial inquiry.
