Will not allow passenger trains: Farmers’ body

Amritsar, November 23

Farmers under the banner of Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee are adamant on blocking passenger trains if these are allowed to run. The conclusion was arrived at after meeting the IG Border Zone here today. Observing the ‘rail roko’ agitation against the new farm laws, they have been staging a sit-in near Jandiala Guru rail track for the past 61 days.

State president of the committee Satnam Singh Pannu said there was no problem in allowing the movement of goods trains. The farmers are all set to stage an agitation at Delhi on November 26. A day prior, a meeting with the CM, Punjab, has also been scheduled at Chandigarh to discuss the issue. — TNS
