Phillaur, Goraya, Lamma Pind, Surya Enclave and the Dhannowali village in Jalandhar. Residents were seen dancing with farmers in joy while passing through the city and villages.

While continued return of morchas will take place via. the national highway across Doaba for the coming days, huge cavalcades of the Fateh Morcha will also be returning back to Jalandhar tomorrow after paying obeisance at the Darbar Sahib. Expressing happiness, a resident Najar Singh said, “Me and my family have been going to the Singhu morcha off and on. This time we stood on the street to welcome them back. I am happy that farmers have returned with their demands met. We are celebrating their return and the way they have upheld democracy. Its a very joyous occasion for us.”
