15,000 more from Amritsar to join protest

Bathinda, December 21

Responding to the call given by the farmer unions, thousands of farmers are expected to leave for the national capital from December 25-27.

Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) secretary Shingara Singh Mann said: “A group of 15,000 farmers from Amritsar would leave for Delhi through the Singhu border on December 25. As many farmers will head to the national capital from the Khanouri border on December 26. On December 27, thousands of farmers will leave from the Dabwali border.”

Thousands of farmers have been staying put at several Delhi border points for the past 26 days, demanding a repeal of the new farm laws. They continued to step up their preparations in view of staying put in this harsh weather as temperature continue to drop in and around Delhi.

As the time is passing by, the protest is getting more response as people from even non agriculture background are heading for Delhi to participate in the protests on daily basis. — TNS
