Though deputation of the farmers led by BKU Gen.Sect Satnam Singh Sahni met Deputy Commissioner Kapurthala Amit Kumar Panchal and Phagwara SDM Jashanjit Singh in support of their demands but the assurances of the officers in the meetings could not be fruitful.

The Farmers were demanding full payment by Sugar Mill management which could be collected after auction of the land.
