Punjab encounter victims' families push for release of film 'Satluj'

Families of victims of alleged staged encounters and enforced disappearances during Punjab's militancy era are demanding the release of a film titled 'Satluj'. The relatives believe the film brings attention to a largely suppressed chapter of their history. Many shared painful accounts of family members taken into police custody who were never seen again. In several cases, news of deaths reached families only through informal channels rather than official sources.
