The Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has announced statewide protests on December 8 against the Electricity Amendment Bill-2025 and the Seed Bill-2025, which they allege are anti-farmer and pro-corporate. Farmers will stage demonstrations at all Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) subdivisions between 12 noon and 3 pm, burning copies of the two Bills as a mark of resistance.
The decision was taken at a special meeting of the SKM held at Shaheed Karnail Singh Isru Bhavan, Ludhiana, under the leadership of Darshan Pal, Nirbhai Singh Dhudike, and Manjit Singh Dhaneer.
