Punjab Farmers Protest Land Pooling Policy
In Punjab, farmers are upset about a new plan called land pooling.
The government wants to take farmland to build new towns.
Farmers would get some land back, but they are worried about losing their farms and way of life.
Many farmers, along with some leaders from the ruling party, are protesting.
They say this plan threatens their farming and identity.
They are concerned about the impact on the rural landscape, worried about being forced to leave their farms and find different jobs.
Thousands of farmers across Punjab protested against the state government's land pooling policy.
The land pooling policy aims to acquire farmland for township development, with farmers receiving developed plots in return.
Farmers see the policy as a threat to their livelihood and agrarian identity.
The protests were led by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) and supported by various farmer unions.
AAP leaders and village sarpanches have also joined the protest against the policy.
