GHAZIABAD: Just 30km from UP Gate, a group of farmers from several villages has been protesting against the government for the past four and a half years over land compensation.
On Saturday, Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni visited the protest in Loni’s Mandola village and backed the protesters. The farm agitation at the Delhi borders has been going on for the last seven months and has generated nationwide debate. But here, farmers from six villages have been agitating over enhanced compensation for the past four and a half years, but to no avail, said Neeraj Tyagi, a representative of the Mandola farmers.
