Farmers Detained En Route to Chief Minister's Event in Abohar
Farmers were detained by police in Abohar while heading to a programme where Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was to release the next instalment of the Mawan-Dhiyan Satkar Yojna. Gunwant Singh Sandhu, general secretary of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Khosa), alleged that the state government was suppressing farmers' voices and claimed deductions during paddy procurement were unfairly imposed, with officials colluding with private traders. The farmers sought to raise these concerns with the Chief Minister but were prevented from doing so.
