As thousands of farmers continue to head towards the Singhu border amid cold and fog, BKU chief Gurnam Singh Charuni has asked them, especially the youth, to maintain discipline while driving.

Word of caution

There have been reports that some mischievous people may try to create disturbance during the march, but we don’t have to hit anyone. The only thing we have to do is nab and hand them over to the police. – Gurnam Singh Charuni, BKU Chief

In a message, he said: “A large number of farmers have been arriving on their tractor-trailers. I want to request them, especially the youth, not to drive rashly, overtake or quarrel with other commuters on the NH-44. There have been several complaints and incidents. I request them not to take selfies while sitting on the bonnets of tractors and maintain discipline.”

Meanwhile, thousands of farmers on tractor-trailers, with Tricolour and BKU flags installed, carrying banners with the slogans of ‘Modi Gallan Don Yes aur No’, Kisan Ekta Zidabad, and Kale Kanoon Wapis Lo’, left for Delhi from Kurukshetra on Sunday. The farmers gathered near Pipli on the Amritsar-Delhi national highway.

A huge number of tractors continued to enter Haryana from Punjab on Sunday. To reduce the diesel expenses, many farmers were transporting one or two tractors on big trailers. Also, many farmers were using one tractor to pull three to six tractors. — TNS
