Farmers from the Kisan Insaf Morcha have begun an indefinite protest near Airport Chowk in Mohali, Punjab, against the land acquisition for the Aerotropolis project by the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA). They claim that the compensation offered is too low and unacceptable. Despite a previous faction of farmers calling off their protest after discussions with Punjab's Cabinet Minister for Revenue, Rehabilitation & Disaster Management, Hardip Singh Mundian, and Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh, another faction has rejected the proposed terms and plans to intensify their agitation. They argue that the conditions set by GMADA do not serve their interests and that negotiations lacked transparency with all stakeholders. The protesting farmers have also announced the formation of struggle committees in affected villages to strengthen their movement. They assert that their protest will persist until their demands are fully met, while the faction that called off their protest expressed gratitude to the Punjab government for addressing their concerns.
