Huge waterproof tent comes up at Singhu

Sonepat, January 6

The farmers’ protest against the three farm laws at the Singhu border continued for the 42nd day on Wednesday. The farmers had been facing a hard time due to rain for the past three days as water entered their tents and langar area.

The farmers made arrangements to brave the rain and cold wave by erecting a huge waterproof tent near the central stage at the Singhu border on Wednesday. The farmers brought waterproof tents, tarpaulin sheets, large bamboo sticks and iron pipes to the protest site.

Rupinderjeet Singh of Ludhiana said they changed the tarpaulin sheet of his trolley on Wednesday as the previous sheet had been damaged due to heavy rain.

Waryam Singh of Rajpura said the wood used as fuel to prepare langar got wet due to heavy rain on Tuesday, after which they covered their trolleys, langar material and wood with tarpaulin sheets.

Meanwhile, Amrik Singh Bharsinghpur, district president of the Jalandhar BKU (Kadian), said they had made all arrangements to save themselves from the rain and cold wave. — TNS
