As part of the protest, farmers squatted on train tracks in many places, including Moga, Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur, Jalandhar, Tarn Taran, Sangrur, Patiala, Ferozepur, Bathinda and Amritsar
The main event was held along the Dal Lake in Srinagar. Hundreds of people walked over a kilometre from the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) to the Botanical Garden, raising slogans like “Jhanda hamara ooncha rahega (our flag will fly high)”
The police said the three deceased were asleep inside their kutcha house at the time the incident occurred. Locals attributed the collapse to continuous rains in the area for the past three days.
