However, the movie couldn't stream on the OTT platform in India beyond two days and was made unavailable in the country.
Despite the ban, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee has announced that they'll hold public screenings of the movie.

Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee On Satluj's Public Screenings
Sharing the same, DSGMC President Harmeet Singh Kalka said, "Since this film is a biographical portrayal of Jaswant Singh Khalra, it depicts how a social activist opened people's eyes to the truth. He uncovered evidence of 25,000 bodies that had been cremated as 'unclaimed' and raised the issue not only within the country but also internationally, highlighting the dire situation in Punjab. Suppressing this story, preventing the events of that dark era from reaching the public, is deeply wrong, and it has sparked immense outrage across the Sikh community."
Further talking about organising public screenings, he said, "We have asked all Gurdwara committee members to download and screen the film in their respective areas to ensure that it reaches the public. Furthermore, we will soon convene a meeting with the chairpersons of our schools and colleges. Seminars on Jaswant Singh Khalra will be organised in every college to discuss his life and legacy. We want people to realise the impact a single social activist can have on society. If one individual can achieve so much, there is no reason why we cannot all work together to do the same."
While Satluj is banned in India, it is available to stream on Zee5 internationally.
