Punjab Government Agrees to Farmers' Demands, Special Assembly Session Planned
After a week-long protest at the Chandigarh-Mohali border, Punjab's government agreed to key demands from the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), including convening a special Assembly session to address water-sharing issues and oppose central electricity and seed bills. The government also promised a one-time loan settlement policy and to appoint a nodal officer for compensation to families of deceased farmers. Farmers await written assurances before deciding on further action or withdrawing their protest.
