Farmers protesting at the Chandigarh‑Mohali border spent the night on the ground and halted traffic for about an hour after a power outage.
Farmers have continued their sit‑in at the Chandigarh‑Mohali border, maintaining a protest that began earlier this week. The demonstrators are pressing for the resolution of long‑standing agrarian issues, though specific demands were not detailed in the report.
The group spent the night on the highway shoulder, sleeping directly on the pavement as part of their non‑violent pressure tactics. Their presence remained unchanged through the night, underscoring the resolve of the farming community.
Late in the evening, a sudden power cut affected the area, prompting protesters to block the road as a form of civil disobedience. The blockage held traffic for roughly an hour before authorities cleared the lane.
Despite the temporary disruption, the protest continues, with farmers vowing to sustain their presence until their concerns are addressed.
