A farmer catches up on the news at the ongoing protest against three contentious fam laws, at the Singhu border between Delhi and Haryana
PATIALA: Electricity taken away, the generators brought along now serve farmers in their protest camps outside Delhi. Some of these sets are owned, some on rent.
The farmers need to charge their mobile phones and operate the roti makers in the langar kitchens. BKU (Ekta-Ugrahan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokari Kalan said: “The farmers are lucky they had their own gen-sets and solar batteries to run electrical appliances. But we need more generators after the government shut our streetlights, water supply, and internet to suppress the agitation. We had to call village electricians from Punjab.”
