Congress activists, led by Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee treasurer Rohit Jain, took out a candlelight march in Ambala City to pay homage to farmers who have lost their lives during the farm agitation, here this evening.

Rohit Jain said: “Around 700 farmers have sacrificed their lives during the struggle against the farm laws. Despite different tactics adopted by the government, the farmers kept struggling peacefully. We have taken out a candlelight march to pay homage to the farmers for their sacrifice. We demand compensation and government jobs for the kin of farmers who have sacrificed their lives.”
