The number of protestors at Delhi바카라s borders is increasing each day with the joint platform of farmer unions set to mark their seventh months of sit-in demonstration on Saturday, June 26.
Thousands of them are already sitting at the borders in solidarity against the Centre바카라s three agricultural reform laws 바카라 mainly at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur. The sit-in demonstration began on November 26 last year.
They come in cars 바카라 some in compacts, others in fancy SUVs 바카라 many on tractors and wagons. Few even on motorcycles. Then there are a trail of tractors pulling trailers of wheat and vegetables.
바카라There are over 40 trailers, full of wheat, on way to the Singhu border so that the protesting farmers get freshly-ground flour for their bread every day,바카라 shouts Abhimanyu Kohar of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) at his companion recording a video. He has to raise his voice over the din of slogans and the patriotic songs being played through loudspeakers.
SKM is the umbrella organisation of some 40 farmer unions, many of which in turn comprises several smaller organisations.
Many participants 바카라 in their white cotton long shirt, 바카라dhoti바카라 and headgear 바카라 carry the tricolour.
The surge in their numbers is a result of the SKM바카라s schedule drawn to allot specific days to certain districts to send groups of farmers to the protest sites.
For example, the Ghazipur Morcha has divided each month into 10 parts where representatives from a cluster of blocks will spend at least three to five days during the time allocated for them.
While the numbers help boost their morale, concerns are being raised over the spread of Covid infection as they huddle together.
However, union leaders claim there has been no such outbreak at any protest site.
The next leg of protests includes marking seven months of sit-in demonstration on June 26 as 바카라kheti bachao, loktantra bachao diwas (save agriculture, save democracy day)바카라.
Farmers in States and Union territories have been asked to collect at a scheduled point in their respective capital cities and proceed together on a 바카라rosh (protest/resentment) march바카라 towards the Governor/Lieutenant Governor Residence on foot.
바카라A protest letter addressed to the President will then be handed over to Governors in States and Lieutenant Governors in Union Territories,바카라 said Kohar in his address.
바카라The President is the First Citizen and the guardian of Constitution; we will request him to direct the (Union) government to address our problem,바카라 he added.
On June 30, SKM intends to commemorate the Santhal rebellion of 1855. Also known as 바카라Hool바카라, the rebellion was held in present-day Jharkhand against the East India Company as well as then zamindari system.
Included in SKM바카라s schedule are also protests at states like Punjab and Chhattisgarh, as well as the ongoing 바카라social boycott바카라 of ministers in Haryana.
The Haryana government has already raised concerns over law-and-order problems. There have already been several standoffs between farmers and the police in the state. The latest being at Tohana in Fatehabad district and in Panchkula.
