New Delhi:
Farmers protesting against Centre’s farm laws have threatened to block the Jaipur-Delhi highway today as they pledge to intensify their agitation against the new farm laws which they want repealed. Today’s rally will be followed by an all-India hunger strike on Monday when the demonstrators plan to hold protests at district offices.
On Saturday, over 4,000 policemen were deployed in Gurgaon and Haryana to stop the farmers from occupying highways. The laws are meant to bring reforms and increase farmers’ income, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday in what was seen as a renewed assurance from the government.
Thousands of farmers have been protesting at various border points of Delhi for over two weeks, demanding scrapping of the new farm laws.
