The SAD leaders were protesting peacefully. Kisan March led by SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal wanted to submit a memorandum to the Punjab Governor VP Singh Badnore.

The SAD leaders were scheduled to meet the Governor at around 2:30 pm. However, the march reached Mullanpur border at around 9:30 pm where they were denied entry in Chandigarh. Then, the SAD leader settled down demanding either entry in Chandigarh or Governor to come and take their memorandum.

Later, the Akali workers were lathi-charged by the police.
