Abohar, December 7
Several groups of farmers from Abohar and Sriganganagar jointly moved from Sadhuwali, located on the Punjab-Rajasthan border, in support of farmers protesting in Delhi against the three farm laws.
Farmers have modified their vehicles to facilitate comfortable travel and stay at night. Most of them were found glued to their phones for updates on the agitation.
Galaxy Brar, a farmer and senior activist of the Gramin Kisan Mazdoor Samiti, who was also driving a tractor, provided 100-litre diesel to each vehicle. The association of carrot growers donated a canter of vegetables for the ‘langar’ being distributed on the Delhi border.
Before leaving for Delhi, the farmers burnt the effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several corporate giants.
People in Sadhuwali showered rose petals as the cavalcade moved to express solidarity with the farmers camping on the Delhi border. Arrangements have been made for langar at local Gurudwara Singh Sabha in Sriganganagar for farmers going to Delhi. — OC
