Amid the ongoing controversy against the stalled internet services on various protesting sites of farmers on the outskirts of the national capital, farmers under the banner of Doaba Kisan Union will protest on Saturday against the snapping of electricity, water and internet services.

The protest will be organised in various parts of the city as well as rural areas of the district. Thousands of farmers, including locals are expected to participate.

Apart from that, following the call by various organisations under the banner of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha, a joint meeting of All-Kisan Mazdoor Jathebandis was held on Wednesday at the Desh Bhagat Yadgar Hall to prepare the further roadmap against the controversial farm laws.

Makhan Singh Kandola, district secretary, Kirti Kisan Union, stated that the union members would organise a ‘chakka jam’ protest on February 6. In the joint meeting, leaders including Kulwinder Machhiana, Mandeep Singh Samrae and Amarjot Singh demanded immediate release of youths arrested on January 26 and cancellation of false cases against farm leaders.
