The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) in Punjab has strongly opposed the Central government's recent decision to revoke the state's permanent membership in the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB). SKM leaders described this move as a 'serious blow' to Punjab's rights and a violation of the federal structure. During a meeting in Ludhiana, they demanded the immediate withdrawal of the government's notification and announced plans for a protest. A public delegation is scheduled to meet Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria in Chandigarh on April 24 to formally express their opposition. Prominent farmer leaders, including Ruldu Singh Mansa, Baldev Singh Nihalgarh, and Boota Singh Shadipur, presided over the meeting, where they highlighted ongoing discrimination against Punjab by successive central governments. They argued that the state's constitutional rights over its rivers and water resources are being curtailed, undermining the federal framework. The SKM has vowed to intensify its agitation, with further actions to be determined after the meeting with the governor.
