Sukhdev Memorial Trust Ends Hunger Strike After Road and Renaming Assurances
The Shaheed Sukhdev Thapar Memorial Trust ended its 10-day hunger strike in Ludhiana after receiving written assurances from district officials and the municipal corporation. The Trust had demanded construction of a road from Chaura Bazaar to Sukhdev Thapar's birthplace and the renaming of a railway station after the martyr. The protest intensified when Trust president Ashok Thapar's health deteriorated during the strike. Officials assured that road work would start within 15-20 days and the renaming process had begun.
