The Lok Bhalai Insaaf Welfare Society, chief, Baldev Singh Sirsa, on Saturday said a bus will ply daily from Jalandhar to Singhu border to ferry farmers for the harvesting season. He said the bus would leave from 4 am daily.

Sirsa, who had been camping in Delhi, held a meeting with the local panels at a gurdwara in Basti Sheikh. He said support of those living in urban areas was needed as farmers have to come back for harvesting their crop.

He said committee members have decided to hold a seminar on Saturday in Jalandhar to motivate residents.

Regarding his summons by the NIA, Sirsa said he had yet not appeared before the agency. He said he was getting a lot of calls on daily basis and some government agents were trying to pressurise him of withdrawing from the ongoing farmers’ agitation, but he refused to budge.
