Patiala, March 28 — Punjab Police late Thursday night released Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) convener Sarwan Singh Pandher, Abhimanyu Kohar, and several farmers from Patiala and Muktsar jails after eight days of detention.
Emerging from jail, Pandher announced plans to visit Bahadurgarh Fort in Patiala to meet fellow farmers.
“We strongly condemn the government’s decision to remove our protest at Khanauri and Shambhu border,” he said, adding that farmers will discuss their next course of action.
Meanwhile, United Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal remains under police watch at a private hospital in Patiala.
Today, farmers plan to protest outside DC offices across Punjab from 11 am to 3 pm against the central and state governments over the detentions.
They will submit a memorandum addressed to the President and the central government.
KMM and Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) leaders announced they will gherao ministers’ residences on March 31. Harbhajan Singh ETO and Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal’s houses in Amritsar will be among the targets.
Farmers are also demanding the release of all detained leaders and compensation for trolleys seized during police action.
A recovery committee has been formed to locate the missing trolleys from Shambhu and Khanauri borders, with plans to coordinate with district administrations.
