Women’s groups and several organisations staged a protest in Fatehabad, Haryana, demanding an immediate rollback of the recent increase in cooking gas prices. The demonstration was led by Jangir Kaur, district head of the All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA). Protesters submitted a 20-point memorandum to the Chief Minister through the Naib Tehsildar, raising concerns about the rising cost of LPG and its impact on household budgets. The memorandum also included broader demands related to women’s social, economic and political empowerment. Activists called for stronger implementation of women’s rights laws, reservation in local bodies, and stricter action against crimes committed against women. (PC: X)
