Farmers under the banner of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Monday (January 26, 2026) took out tractor marches at several places in Punjab to press for their demands, including the withdrawal of the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
The SKM gave the call for the tractor march on Republic Day, the same day when thousands of farmers protesting against the three now-repealed farm laws had stormed the Red Fort in New Delhi in 2021, with many breaching barricades and clashing with police.
Monday’s (January 26, 2026) demonstrations were organised to demand the withdrawal of the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2025, the Seeds Bill 2025, repeal of labour codes, restoration of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) on crops.
In Hoshiarpur, members of the Doaba Kisan Committee took out a tractor march in Mukerian. It started from the Grain Market at Bhangala and passed through Bhangala Chungi, Mata Rani Chowk, Sugar Mill and the SDM office before returning to the starting point.
The march was led by Avtar Singh Bobby, president of the committee's Mukerian unit.
