Preparations are on across various villages in the district to mobilise residents for the December 26 and 27 march to the Delhi border in support of the protesting farmers.

“Dhol marches” and meetings were organised and announcements made through gurdwara public address system today as farmers readied their modified trailers and other vehicles.

“Our village has decided to cook ‘sarson da saag’ tonight in each house to take it to the Tikri border on Saturday. There are many houses where two members are already at the protest site, while two more members would leave on tomorrow,” said Harjinder Singh, BKU (Ugrahan) Bhawanigarh block president. Many women said they were going without ration as their relatives at Tikri had said there was enough stock. — TNS
