The farmers’ agitation in Tarn Taran, spearheaded by the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), has reached a critical milestone, marking its 40th day of an indefinite “Pakka Morcha.” Protesters are fiercely demanding the immediate revival of the Shero Cooperative Sugar Mill, a vital lifeline for the local agricultural economy.
Beyond this specific demand, the movement serves as a broader platform for farmers to voice their strong opposition to the state government’s recent policy shifts. As the standoff continues, the situation highlights the deepening frustration among the farming community regarding regional industrial support and evolving agricultural governance.
