A statewide bandh disrupted normal life across Punjab following the murder of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota. Markets remained shut in several districts, while political parties, farmer groups and civil society organisations backed the protest. Jhota, a prominent anti-drug campaigner from Mansa, was shot dead after allegedly confronting a chemist over the sale of addictive substances. The killing has triggered widespread outrage, demands for a CBI investigation, and renewed debate over Punjab's long-running struggle against narcotics, law and order, and political accountability. hastags: #punjabbandh #parvindersinghjhota #punjabnews Thank you for watching our video!
