Protesting farmers on Saturday blocked the Kundli-Mewat-Palwal (KMP) Expressway at three points—Aasoda, Mandothi, and Badli village—in the district. The farmers reached the points at 8 am.

The blockade at Aasoda and Mandothi was restored by farmers camping at the Tikri border while the local farmers led the Badli blockade.

Farmers blocked the road with their tractors and other vehicles. The blockade will continue for 24 hours.

BKU (Ekta) Chief Joginder Singh Ugrahan told 'The Tribune', that the agitation was not an "anti-Modi" battle, but against the corporate sector, and that they were ready for the long haul, and would continue their dharna until the three laws were repealed.

"We will march towards the Parliament, but will not repeat the January 26 incident. Those who want to divide the farmers into the lines of religion and caste to scuttle the agitation will not be allowed to participate in it. The march will not only strengthen the agitation further but also mount pressure in the Center,” added Ugrahan.
