Kaumi Insaf Morcha shuts market in Mohali

A local activist collective called Kaumi Insaf Morcha blocked access to a market in Mohali, leading to its temporary shutdown. The group positioned volunteers at the market entrance, preventing shoppers and vendors from entering the premises.
Market traders reported a sudden halt to business activities and said the closure disrupted daily sales. Local authorities were alerted to the situation and arrived at the site to assess the circumstances.
Police officials confirmed that the market remained closed until the blockade was removed, but did not disclose any further details about the reasons behind the protest. The incident has drawn attention to the group's demands, which they have not publicly elaborated on.
The shutdown affected a number of small businesses in the area, prompting concerns among shop owners about potential losses. Officials indicated that normal operations would resume once the protest is cleared.
No injuries were reported, and the situation is being monitored by law‑enforcement agencies to ensure public order.
