Ludhiana Industrialists Protest for Extension of Mixed Land Use Policy
Small and micro-scale industrialists in Ludhiana protested outside the District Industries Centre, seeking clarity and a permanent solution for operating in Mixed Land Use (MLU) areas after the policy expired on September 30. They warned that without an extension or formal recognition, thousands of units face closure, risking jobs for around 100,000 workers. Protest leaders highlighted the lack of government response, while officials said demands were conveyed to higher authorities, with hopes for a resolution soon.
