Farmers Hold Candlelight March in Chandigarh Marking Lakhimpur Kheri Anniversary
Farmers' groups marked the fifth anniversary of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence with a candlelight march in Chandigarh, paying tribute to four farmers and a journalist killed in the 2021 incident. The protest, led by Sarwan Singh Pandher and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, faced police restrictions on the planned route, causing traffic disruptions in multiple sectors. The march remained peaceful, with no detentions or force used. The case against accused Ashish Mishra, including murder charges, is ongoing in court.
