Border protest sites get busy as farmers prepare to leave city
Hindustan TimesWith farmers set to depart Delhi’s border points after nearly 13 months, activity has picked up at the Singhu and Ghazipur borders, where more trucks and tractor trolleys arrived on Friday. Farmers carrying their belongings leave for their native places after the Samyukt Kisan Morcha announces the suspension of ongoing protest, at Singhu Border, in New Delhi on Thursday. “The larger tents will take a day or two to dismantle and we will need at least two trucks to take our belongings back,” says Harpal Singh, from Amritsar, adding that people from his village have already left for Delhi. Bhajan Singh, a member of Prabandak committee at Singhu Border, said farmers were instructed to try and send a majority of their belongings in trucks on Friday itself, with a joint march on tractors and trucks to be carried out on Saturday morning.
