As Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's 'Shukrana Yatra' progresses through Punjab, allegations have emerged from various groups, including government school teachers and farmers, claiming they were detained or placed under house arrest to prevent protests. The rally, which began on May 6, aims to express gratitude following the passage of the Jaagat Jot Shri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act, 2026, a stricter anti-sacrilege law. On the third day, the yatra started from Bathinda, with planned stops in Talwandi Sabo, Mansa, and Sangrur. Teachers' union leaders, including Harjinder Singh, reported detentions in Mansa district, condemning the government's actions. Meanwhile, farmer organizations attempted to question the chief minister about alleged thefts during previous protests but faced heavy police deployment and road blockades. The yatra is expected to conclude on Saturday after visiting significant sites related to the 2015 sacrilege incidents, which had previously led to protests and police violence.
