People will keep coming and going at protest site: Tikait

The farmer protests have continued against the agricultural laws for more than 80 days on Delhi's borders. Now the crowd at the Ghazipur border protest site has become thinner than before, though BKU leader Rakesh Tikait has already told the farmers "to keep one eye on the border and one eye on their farm." The tents in which the farmers used to sleep, are now almost empty. Only a few people are seen eating food at the 'langars' or community kitchens. However, the number of farmers on the border increases on Saturday and Sunday. There are some farmers who come from their villages in the morning and go back again the same evening.
