It’s been nearly 100 days since farmers began their agitation on the Delhi borders. The families of young farmers who lost their lives during the stir are yet to come to terms with the loss.

Jatinder Singh (22) of Fatta Maluka village in Mansa district died in a road mishap on way to Delhi.
In order to show solidarity with the protesting farmers, he took his tractor-trailer and headed towards Delhi in December along with a few villagers but on the way, a Canter hit his tractor and killed him near Hisar.
Sukhpal Singh, Jatinder’s father, said, “I had to go to the Delhi protest, but Jatinder told me that his friends from the village were going there so he will join them. So I dropped my plan.”

In view of the poor sanitary conditions at the Tikri border, Punjab farmers have constructed toilets near their camp site with the help of plumbers brought from their villages. Submersible pumps have been installed to meet water requirement. To store water, they have brought plastic tanks.
The need for constructing toilets arose after the local authorities lifted several mobile toilets from the protest site following the January 26 tractor parade. As a result, farmers had started defecating in nearby fields, causing insanitary conditions, said Gurnail Singh from Sangrur.
