Ludhiana: Convoys of tractors, jeeps and cars started rolling down the streets of city’s main roads at 11am on Sunday. Elite women of the district stood out in the cavalcades; while few were driving tractors, others were sitting in trolleys or driving jeeps and cars in the over 20km rally that started from a petrol pump in South City.
Women hailing from South City, Barewal Road, Sarabha Nagar, BRS Nagar, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, Agar Nagar, Kitchu Nagar and Model Town steered ahead with aplomb. “Around 150 women in cars, jeep and tractors showed solidarity with farmers. Women driving tractors had little experience on the tarmac, but they showed a lot of grit,” said Dr Aman Mauj, a veterinarian and immigration lawyer who has come from Canada for the agitation and is living in Sarabha Nagar.
