People of Chamkaur Sahib are up in arms against establishment of a Paper Mill at Dhaulran village. This mill is to be setup by Ruchina Papers Ltd. which has a similar Mill at Kala Amb in Himachal Pradesh where it is a major source of pollution of Markanda river. People of Chamkaur Sahib have announced that they won’t allow this mill to be set up in their area as their area is eco-sensitive and any industrial activity will lead to pollution of ground water in this area. On 28 August 2022 a mass gathering was held at Gurdwara Bir Jand Sahib. Addressing this gathering Parmjeet Singh Gazi, editor of Sikh Siyasat News, said thy fight against factories polluting water resources is struggle to save civilisation of Punjab.
