A pakka dharna on Ludhiana road — against the toll plaza

Although all dharnas at toll plazas in the state were lifted in the middle of December last year after farm laws were repealed, a pakka dharna has been still going on at Kubbe toll plaza on southern bypass on Ludhiana-Doraha road since January 26 this year.

“We too had lifted our dharna in mid-December but we re-started it on January 26 this year as we want this toll plaza to go away,” said Jora Singh Khatran, a 38-year-old farmer from Khatran village, sitting on dharna. Charges for a car at this toll are Rs 41 for a single journey and Rs 66 for return journey. This toll plaza started about seven years ago and remained closed during the time of farm agitation.
