Agriculture laws | Farmers break barriers to enter Delhi
The HinduHundreds of farmers led by Bharatiya Kisan Union leaders set out for Delhi from Ambala with tractors and trolleys breaking through two barriers on National Highway 44 on Wednesday, in response to a call for “Dilli Chalo” from several farmers’ groups for November 26 and 27 in protest against the three controversial farm laws. The Haryana police placed boulders and barricades on all roads across the State and sealed its border with Punjab to prevent the farmers from marching towards Delhi. As lakhs of farmers head towards Delhi, leaders of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, alliance of farmers groups leading the protest, insist that their demand is repeal of the three farm laws and the dropping of the Electricity Bill, 2020. A protest rally has been planned at 11 a.m. at the Jantar Mantar whether or not farmers from other States are allowed to enter, said All-India Kisan Sabha general secretary Hannan Mollah.
