Amritsar Land Dispute Leads to Family's Self-Immolation Attempt

The incident took place in Amritsar’s Kot Baba Deep Singh area, specifically in Chhajju Mall Gali, where a family has been fighting over a 10×8‑foot shop and its adjoining land for about eight years. In a dramatic protest, the family attempted self‑immolation to bring attention to the unresolved dispute. They say the police have not listened to their complaints and have failed to intervene. Authorities have not released details on the outcome of the attempt or any subsequent legal action. The case underscores the tensions that can arise from property disputes in Punjab’s urban areas and highlights the need for timely mediation by law enforcement.
