Mohali, April 19 -- A planned protest by farmers at Airport Chowk was stopped by the police on Saturday morning, with officers removing tents and detaining several protesters before the demonstration could begin. Earlier on April 14, the Punjab government accepted key demands and announced relief measures, leading farmers to call off the protest following formal assurances from officials. But later in the week a faction of protesters met at Gurdwara Sri Amb Sahib Gurdwara, Sector 62, and decided to continue their protest.

Leaders of the Kisan Insaf Morcha, including Karamjit Singh Baidwan, Makhan Singh of Geegamajra and Avtar Singh of Manauli, said the farmers had gathered peacefully to protest.

The leaders said the administration assured them of a meeting with the Mohali MLA on Monday, followed by a discussion with the concerned minister. htc...
