BJP party workers gathered for a dharna in front of the mayor's residence in Ludhiana, signalling local political discontent.
A group of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers assembled outside the official residence of the Ludhiana mayor and began a dharna. The protest was conducted in a peaceful manner, with participants seated on the pavement and holding placards. While the exact grievance was not disclosed in the brief report, the presence of party cadres indicates a demand for attention from municipal authorities.
Local media outlets captured images of the gathering, showing a sizable number of supporters maintaining the sit-in throughout the day. No reports of clashes or police intervention were mentioned, suggesting that the demonstration remained orderly.
The incident adds to a series of recent political activities in Punjab, where opposition parties often use public spaces to voice concerns over administrative decisions. Observers note that such protests can influence local governance, especially when directed at the mayor's office.
Authorities have not yet issued an official statement regarding the reasons behind the dharna or any planned response. The BJP workers are expected to continue their demonstration until their demands are addressed.
