BATHINDA/PATIALA: A farmers’ caravan of at least 700 vehicles, including tractor-trolleys, cars, buses, and other means of transport, will march towards Delhi’s Tikri border on Sunday “to bolster the agitation” against the three farm laws.
BKU (Ekta Ugraha) Punjab general secretary S S Kokarikalan said, “At our meeting on Saturday, we decided to give a call for a farmers’ march towards Delhi from Khanauri border. More than 10,000 farmers will reach Tikri. We will take sufficient ration with us. The gathering at Tikri border is huge, but more farmers have been asked to mobilise and reach the protest site.” He added that a large section of farmers from Sangrur, Bathinda, Mansa, Barnala, Patiala, and Moga districts will take part in the march.
