Nearly 500 farmers boarded buses for Delhi from Lower PMG Square near the Odisha Assembly on Friday to join their brethren braving the winter chill in the national capital to protest against the new farm laws.
The bunch appeared to be in high spirits with even the older ones among them confident of victory of the farmers in their agitation.
Surendranath Maharana, 70, who has lost a few of his teeth, said he was not bothered about the winter in Delhi. “Just give your phone number. I will give a call when I return from Delhi. I will return only after we emerge victorious,” he said.
