Jalandhar: Shiromani Akali Dal will protest in Jalandhar today. The protest will start outside the DC office.

Shiromani Akali Dal had announced a protest across the state on November 5, i.e. today, regarding paddy procurement and shortage of DAP fertilizer in Punjab. Shiromani Akali Dal working president Balwinder Singh Bhundar had ordered all the party workers to protest against the government on November 5. Bhundar had said that an attempt would be made to wake the government from its sleep.
Due to the non-purchase of paddy in Punjab, a big crisis has arisen for the farmers of the entire Punjab. Farmers across Punjab are sitting in the mandis for 15-20 days continuously to sell their produce, but neither the purchase is happening nor the lifting arrangements are being made properly.
