Further, it has asked village heads to form committees to tend to the farms of the protesters taking part in the stir.
National general secretary of the BKU Yudhvir Singh said the move was needed as cane harvesting was under way. “We have told villagers to look after the affairs of the farmers who been protesting at the Delhi borders. We have to ensure farmers don‘t incur losses,” he added.
