Protest at the Singhu border on Wednesday.
A month ago, when Jagjit Singh (40) hurriedly left his village in Punjab’s Bathinda for Delhi, he only packed one pair of socks, which are now torn and dusty. “It takes very long for them to dry after I wash them because there’s no sun at all some days. Nights are the hardest, it’s too cold,” said Jagjit.
