Sukhwinder Singh, state president of KMSC, said they are demanding guaranteed 200 days employment to the labourers, new MSP policy, adequate compensation, including ₹50,000 per acre for loss of crop due to recent floods in Punjab, mining rights to land owners on whose agricultural land the sand has accumulated due to floods, stringent action against the drug smugglers and implementation of Swaminathan report. 91 trains affected A total of 51 trains were cancelled in the Ferozepur railway division with a total of 91 trains affected as members of various farmers’ bodies squatted on train tracks at 13 railway stations and various railway crossings. Addressing the gathering, Azad Kisan Committee Doaba state president Harpal Singh Sangha emphasised the need to enact a law on MSP for various agricultural crops to safeguard farmers from sharp price fluctuations.
