Security Measures and Traffic Changes During BKU-Rajewal Protests in Chandigarh
錢德加爾 BKU-Rajewal 抗議期間的安保措施與交通變更
Introduction
The Chandigarh administration has deployed a large number of police officers and put traffic restrictions in place to manage a protest organized by the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU-Rajewal).
錢德加爾行政部門部署了大量警察並實施交通限制，以管理由印度農民聯盟 (BKU-Rajewal) 組織的抗議活動。
Main Body
To maintain order, the Chandigarh Police and reserve forces were stationed at key locations, including the Sector 34 Exhibition Ground and nearby business areas. Heavy barricades were set up at several major junctions, such as the Sector 20-21/34-35 and Sector 34-35 intersections. These steps were necessary because a vehicle rally was expected to arrive from Mohali’s Nature Park. Consequently, traffic restrictions were applied from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm on several main roads, which led some schools to change their normal schedules.
為了維持秩序，錢德加爾警方與預備隊被部署在關鍵地點，包括第 34 區展覽場及附近商業區。在幾個主要路口，如第 20-21/34-35 區與第 34-35 區交匯處，設置了沉重的路障。由於預計將有車隊從莫哈利的 Nature Park 抵達，因此採取這些措施是必要的。因此，幾條主幹道在上午 10:30 至下午 3:00 期間實施交通限制，導致部分學校更改了正常作息。
Regarding the reasons for the protest, the BKU-Rajewal expressed strong opposition to a proposed free trade agreement between India and the US. The union emphasized that this deal would allow cheap, subsidized American farm products to enter the market, which would harm small Indian farmers. Furthermore, the group raised concerns about the falling groundwater levels in Punjab and the negative effects of climate change. To communicate these issues, the union sent formal letters to the Prime Minister through the Punjab Governor and Chief Minister. The leaders warned that if the agreement is signed, they will start nationwide protests and stop toll collections in Punjab on July 17.
關於抗議原因，BKU-Rajewal 對於印度與美國擬定的自由貿易協定表示強烈反對。該聯盟強調，這項協議將允許美國廉價且受補貼的農產品進入市場，從而損害印度小農。此外，該團體對旁遮普邦地下水位下降以及氣候變遷的負面影響表示關切。為了傳達這些問題，該聯盟透過旁遮普邦總督與首席部長向總理發出正式信函。領導層警告，如果協議簽署，他們將發起全國性抗議，並在 7 月 17 日停止收取旁遮普邦的通行費。
Conclusion
This was the second farmer-led protest in the city within four days, causing temporary disruption to urban life and resulting in the formal delivery of agricultural complaints to government authorities.
這是四天內該市第二次由農民領導的抗議，導致城市生活暫時受干擾，並正式向政府部門提交了農業投訴。
