“Is this the kind of place to pass through at night time?” asked Anita Singh, a middle-aged woman who was trying to make her way through a bushy dirt path on Thursday to reach the spot where farmers have been protesting in Ghazipur for 78 days.
Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh lies on Delhi’s southeast border.
Singh, a social worker, had travelled 20 km from Dwarka in southwest Delhi to express her support for the protesting farmers, who have occupied a stretch of flyover on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway.
