BATHINDA: Even as protests by farmers in Punjab completed four months on Sunday, panchayats across the state have started asking every household to send at least one member to the protest sites. Some village panchayats are calling upon their residents to join the farm protests on the borders of Delhi or else ‘pay a fine’ in the event of non-participation from a household. Earlier, the task of mobilising protesters was limited to activists of farm organisations.
It was on October 1, 2020, that indefinite protests had started in Punjab, first at railway tracks, toll plazas and business establishments of some corporate houses and then at the residences of some BJP leaders. The protests are going on at 70 to 80 places in Punjab apart from the ones at the Delhi borders.
