A crucial meeting of the Kisan Insaf Morcha, attended by a large number of farmers, has led to a new development in the ongoing farmer agitation in Punjab. According to sources, the faction resolved to intensify their agitation, citing the conditions laid down by GMADA as "not in their interest."

  • Tarandeep Singh Jagatpura
  • Nawab Singh Siaau
  • Jagtar Singh Bakarpur
  • Gurdeep Singh
  • Pavitar Singh Numberdar
  • Baba Sher Singh
  • Gurminder Singh Bakarpur

Farmer leaders expressed their discontent with the negotiations, alleging that representatives failed to take all stakeholders into confidence. They also rejected the compensation being offered, stating it was "too low and unacceptable."

Plans to Strengthen the Movement

  • The farmers plan to form struggle committees in all affected villages to strengthen and coordinate the movement.
  • The protest will continue until their demands are fully met, according to the farmer leaders.

Contrasting Views on the Punjab Government's Role

On a contrasting note, members of the farmer group who called off their protest visited the MLA's office to express their gratitude, stating that the Punjab government has accepted all their demands and they are now prepared to provide land for the Aerotropolis project.
