Farmers affiliated to the CPM-backed All India Kisan Sabha, along with Congress workers, blocked national and state highways at 213 points in Bengal on Saturday in solidarity with the nationwide chakka jam call given by peasant unions protesting against the three contentious farm laws on Delhi borders.
“We staged road blockades at 73 points on national highways and at 140 points on state highways across Bengal. The road blockades continued for an hour across the state. The farmers want repeal of the three farm laws but the Narendra Modi government has remained insensitive,” said Amal Haldar, state secretary of the All India Kisan Sabha.
