BATHINDA: Farmers protesting against the three contentious farm laws completed 200 days on Sunday, but a newer and a bigger challenge confronts them now — saving activists from the onslaught of second and more severe Covid-19 wave.
Despite the steady increase in active caseload for over a month now, farmers and farm outfits have no plan to vacate the protest sites and are determined to continue on the path of confrontation.
One of the largest farm organisations of Punjab, BKU (Ekta Ugrahan), has given a call for farmers to join protests in large numbers on April 21. Haryana farmers have also given an ultimatum of closing down Bahadurgarh toll plaza on April 21.
