As the second wave of Covid sweeps the country, itâs been 167 days since thousands of farmers arrived and settled along the borders of New Delhi. For more than five months, the farmers, largely from Punjab and Haryana, have been protesting against the
three farm bills passed by the central government in September.
On May 11, Balbir Singh Rajewal, the president of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Rajewal), told
Newslaundry that while itâs difficult to count the number of people presently camped out at the protest sites, about â10,000 farmersâ had made their way to Tikri and Singhu borders on May 10, mainly from Haryana and Punjab.
