Farmers from Haripur Hinduan and Bahadurgarh in Mohali district are protesting, saying the current irrigation system does not meet their needs and urging authorities to provide a separate switch.
Farmers in the villages of Haripur Hinduan and Bahadurgarh have voiced strong dissatisfaction with the existing irrigation arrangement, saying it fails to deliver adequate water for their fields. The agri‑community has gathered to press local authorities for a dedicated irrigation switch that would allow them to control water flow independently.
According to reports, the lack of a separate switch forces the farmers to share water resources with neighboring areas, leading to irregular supply and reduced crop yields. The protest highlights the growing concern among Punjab's cultivators about water management and the need for infrastructure that addresses local requirements.
Local officials have been approached for a resolution, but as of now no concrete action has been announced. The farmers remain determined to secure the separate switch, emphasizing that timely intervention is essential for safeguarding their agricultural output.
