Punjab Land Pooling Policy Sparks Farmer Fury: Unified Resistance Brewing
The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) has vehemently opposed the Punjab government’s new land pooling policy, denouncing it as coercive and detrimental to farmers’ interests. The KMM views the policy’s lack of transparency and potentially divisive nature as a grave threat to the agrarian community.
A concerted effort to build a unified resistance against the policy is underway. Farm unions across the state are being urged to join forces to challenge the government’s initiative.
A crucial joint meeting of these unions is scheduled for August 26 in Chandigarh. The aim is to formulate a common strategy and present a strong, united front against what is seen as an unfair and opaque policy.
The government’s land pooling policy has already drawn significant criticism for its lack of clarity and perceived attempts to divide farmers. The August 26 meeting could mark a turning point in the ongoing struggle, potentially shaping the future of agricultural land rights in Punjab. The outcome will have significant implications for land ownership and farming practices across the state, impacting livelihoods of thousands.
