Farm unions to launch drive on March 30

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Non Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) have announced to start a “Fasal Te Nasal Bachao” campaign from March 30. Both farm unions have been protesting at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders.

The two unions will invite students of Classes VIII and above to come and participate in the protests at Shambhu and Khanauri. A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting here today.

“The cadre of both forums will also submit memorandums to the MLAs of Ghanaur, Shutrana, Ambala and Narwana, on March 21, to draw their attention towards the poor road infrastructure in their respective constituencies. If they do not come out to receive the memorandum, we will stage dharnas outside their residences for two hours,” said KMM leader Sarwan Singh Pandher.

He also said that on March 23 (martyrdom day of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev), a meeting would be held at Shambhu, Khanauri and Rattanpura to pay tribute to the freedom fighters.
