Farmers Begin Week-Long Protest at Chandigarh-Mohali Border Over MSP and Water Rights
Farmers under the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) began a week-long protest from September 1 to 7 at the Chandigarh-Mohali border, demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support prices (MSP) based on the Swaminathan Commission formula, debt waivers, and opposition to the proposed India-US trade deal. The protest also addresses Punjab-specific issues like water rights and the repeal of certain bills. Authorities have implemented traffic curbs and deployed security to manage disruptions and maintain order during the demonstration.
