Ropar, October 12

A mall and a fuel station owned by Reliance Group remained closed as the farmers continue to protest against the farm Acts here today. Similarly, farmers didn’t allow the Solakhian toll plaza to be operational on the Chandigarh road.

The protesting farmers have been sitting on dharna at railway tracks at Nangal Chowk since October 1. Those who addressed the protesting farmers today include Gurnam Singh Jassra, Gurmail Singh Warra, Pragat Singh Roloomajra, Charan Singh Mundian, Gurinder Singh Rurki and Satnam Singh Majri.
