Punjab Police Foil Farmers’ Rail Roko Protest Over Draft Electricity Amendment Bill-2025

Описание: The Punjab Police on Wednesday foiled the proposed two-hour rail roko agitation called by the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha against the draft Electricity Amendment Bill-2025. The protest was scheduled from 1 pm to 3 pm across the state.

At Jandiala, near Devidialpura village, police teams stopped farmer groups who were marching towards the railway tracks. According to officials, some farmers attempted to reach the tracks through adjoining fields, but they too were prevented from accessing the line. Police maintained a strong deployment in the area.

Railway operations remained normal on Amritsar Delhi route during the protest, officials said.

Earlier on Thursday night, several farmer leaders alleged that police conducted late-night raids at the residences of union leaders across districts including Amritsar, Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, Ludhiana, Ropar and Patiala.

Kisan Mazdoor Morcha leader Sarwan Singh Pandher stated that a number of farmer leaders were targeted to stop the rail roko. He claimed that the state government was resorting to pressure tactics instead of addressing concerns raised over the draft Electricity Amendment Bill-2025.

Pandher added that the Morcha had announced the two-hour agitation expecting that nearly 80 percent of tracks would witness suspension of services, with possibility of only a few trains being halted on main lines. “But the government is determined to suppress the movement,” he alleged.
