Patiala, March 13
Ahead of Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM)’s call of mahapanchayat at Ramlila Ground in New Delhi on Thursday, farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal said if farmers are be stopped from reaching the national capital it could lead to sit-ins and rail roko protests.
In the wake of mahapanchayat, farmers have been gathering at the Shambhu border.
The leader of the protesting farmer union, Sarwan Singh Pandher, said they would hold a press conference at the Shambhu border at 3 pm on Wednesday to decide the next course of action.
