A group of farmers has set up a permanent protest outside the District Collector's office in Amritsar, saying they will remain until all their demands are satisfied.
Amritsar – Farmers gathered outside the District Collector's office and established a continuous protest site, signalling a determined stance on their grievances. The demonstrators have announced that they will not lift the encampment until every demand they have put forward is fully addressed.
The protest is being held at the main entrance of the DC office, a symbolic location that underscores the farmers' appeal to local administration. Organisers have described the sit‑in as a "pakka morcha" – a firm, unwavering front – intended to keep pressure on authorities.
While specific demands were not detailed in the initial report, the farmers' resolve to stay reflects broader concerns that have been voiced across the state regarding agricultural policies, market access and support measures. Officials have been urged to engage with the protestors promptly to prevent an escalation.
Local residents and commuters have reported the presence of the protest camp but no major disruptions to daily traffic have been noted so far. The authorities have not yet issued a formal response, and the situation remains under close observation.
