Sirsa Congress Stages Protest: Haryana Govt Faces Farmer Fury
Congress workers in Sirsa took to the streets on Monday, August 4, 2025, to voice their strong opposition to several Haryana government policies. Their key grievances centered around the recent hike in land collector rates and additional electricity charges imposed on farmers.
The protesters also highlighted significant technical issues plaguing the Nakal Jamabandi portal, causing considerable inconvenience. This digital land record system, crucial for farmers, has reportedly been riddled with errors, hampering their access to vital information.
Beyond these immediate concerns, the demonstration underscored deeper anxieties regarding inadequate infrastructure, healthcare facilities, and unreliable water supply in rural areas. Congress leaders demanded immediate government intervention to address these pressing issues affecting the farming community.
The protest underscores the growing discontent among farmers in Haryana, raising concerns about the state government’s rural development policies and their impact on the agricultural sector, a cornerstone of the state’s economy. The coming weeks will be crucial in observing the government’s response and its potential impact on the upcoming elections.
