Amritsar: Police deployed heavy reinforcements on Sunday to intercept a Kisan Mazdoor Sangarash Committee (KMSC) march toward the deputy commissioner’s office here.KMSC’s Sarwan Singh Pandher alleged cops had used lathi-charges at Kukrawala and Chogawan to halt the protest, a move he claimed broke with historical precedent. Pandher criticised AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal’s claims regarding flood relief, asserting that Punjab farmers remained uncompensated.The KMSC demands the withdrawal of the India-US interim trade deal, the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025, and the Seeds Bill. Additional demands include ₹3.7 crore in compensation for losses at the Khanauri border and relief for recent state floods.
