Punjab Toll Plazas Free for 3 Hours in Protest
Some people in Punjab are protesting by making 49 toll plazas free for three hours.
They want the government to release Sikh prisoners who have already served their time in jail.
The protest is organized by a group called Quami Insaaf Morcha, and they are joined by labour and farmers' unions.
The protest will cause the government to lose a lot of money because they won't be able to collect tolls during this time.
The main toll plazas involved are Ladhowal, Kurali, and Balachaur.
The group has been protesting for a while, asking for justice for Sikh prisoners and other issues.
49 toll plazas in Punjab will be free for 3 hours from noon to 3 pm on Monday as part of a protest.
The protest is organized by the Quami Insaaf Morcha, demanding the release of Sikh prisoners who have completed their sentences.

Labour and farmers' unions are participating in the protest to support the demands.
