抗議：介入を伴う抗議

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Teachers and farmers, including BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) members, staged a 70th-day protest at a school in Chauke village, Bathinda district, Punjab on April 5, 2025, with police intervention including suspected lathi charges and detentions. The protest centers on demands for fair wages, student resources, and teacher reinstatement.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Punjab is a major agricultural state, so sustained farmer unrest could potentially affect regional crop production or transportation if protests expand beyond the current school-focused demonstration.

Watch points

• Monitor whether the BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) farmer union escalates protests beyond the single school location to broader agricultural areas in Punjab
• Track any police response escalation that could trigger wider rural unrest in Bathinda district
