Police Detain Farmers and Restrict Leaders Ahead of Faridkot Kisan Panchayat
Ahead of a Kisan Panchayat in Faridkot, several prominent farmer leaders, including Jagjit Singh Dallewal, were placed under house arrest by police aiming to prevent gatherings.

Farmer unions condemned these restrictions as attempts to suppress democratic rights and vowed to continue their agitation, which began after two farmer suicides in March and includes demands for compensation and loan settlements.
