Farmers Protest Against Eviction

The farmers of Rakh Azmat Wala from Rajanpur District have been consistently agitating against the Punjab Government’s notification which is forcing farmers to evict the land they and their ancestors have tilled for nearly a 100 hundred years.

Farmers have till now refused all negotiation saying that if police comes to try and evict them they will take militant action. Currently there is a stay order which does not give the police the right to evict the Rakh Azmat Wala community which comprises more than 15,000 and nearly2750 acres of very fertile agricultural land. However, police forces have been threatening them with eviction on a daily basis. On March 24, farmers took out a huge protest rally blocking a major highway and then again on March 25 took out another protest rally in Jampur City. Their protests are marked by the presence of police force ready to take action.

The slogans raised by farmers included “Golee Manzoor, Jali Manzoor” meaning farmers are willing to face jail and even armed attacked by the police forces but not willing to give up their land.
