Unemployed protesting by climbing the tank.
Unemployed youths have started protesting in Punjab under the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. For the first time in the government of CM Bhagwant Mann, the unemployed have climbed the tank. This young man is a police recruit about 6 years ago. He says that before the elections, Bhagwant Mann used to come from house to house, now we do not meet him.

Arvind Kejriwal came to Mohali and talked to the teachers on the tank.
Case pending for 6 years
