There were big gatherings across the district and women also participated in large numbers. Besides villages, protests were also held at the Jagraon railway station, Chowkiman and Rakba toll plazas,” said Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) Dakonda’s district secretary Inderjit Singh.“On June 2, BKU-Dakonda will take 100 vehicles of farmers to Tikri and Singhu borders to support the protesters there,” he added.
