Another Farmers' Group from Punjab Heading Towards Delhi to Join Protest
Amritsar: Another group of farmers that could not join the farmers' protests in Delhi is heading towards Delhi from Punjab on Friday. It includes members of Kisan Mazdoor Sangarsh Committee who have proceeded from Amritsar and plan to join the protests in Delhi against the new agriculture laws, which began on November 26. "Around 700 tractor trolleys and along with other vehicles are moving towards Delhi's Kundli border. Around 50,000 farmers will go to the Kundli border. Today, we will cross the Shambhu border in Punjab. Later, we will stay in Haryana during the night. The next morning we will move towards the Kundli border," SS Pandher, Kisan Mazdoor Sangarsh Committee told ANI. According to reports, police vigilance along the Delhi border has been increased. The Centre and farmer groups have so far held several rounds of talks but so far have failed to reach a consensus. The Centre has sent a draft proposal to the farmer unions, however, they are demanding a complete withdrawal of the farm laws. The farmers are protesting against the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
