Protests intensify in Mathura over reopening of Chhata Sugar Mill; Panchayat held across 30 villages

The agitation to restart the Chhata Sugar Mill in Mathura has intensified once again. According to reports from the news agency, police arrived at the site early Sunday morning and removed the protesters who had been demonstrating for the revival of the mill. This police action has further fueled the anger among the local villagers.

In protest against the police intervention, residents from 30 surrounding villages organized a large panchayat. During the meeting, the villagers expressed strong dissatisfaction with the administration's actions. Those present unanimously stated that the police pressure would not break their resolve and they remain firm on their demands.

During the panchayat, the villagers decided to march toward the mill. The protesters argue that the closure of the Chhata Sugar Mill is a significant issue for local farmers and residents. They noted that the closure has negatively impacted employment and the agriculture-based economy, making it essential to resume operations immediately.

The villagers have warned that their movement will not stop under any circumstances until the mill is officially operational. They have demanded that the administration take their concerns seriously and expedite the process of restarting the facility.

Currently, the situation in the area remains tense as a large number of villagers are mobilizing to support their demands. While the police and administration are monitoring the situation, the protesters are preparing to move toward the mill premises as part of their next strategy.

This issue has now transformed into a significant local movement. Farmers and villagers have been frustrated by the lack of concrete action despite previous assurances regarding the mill. It remains to be seen what steps the administration will take in response to this mounting pressure.
