Jalandhar: Amidst a thick blanket of fog, bone chilling cold and zero visibility, people wake up hearing a common announcement in gurdwaras these days:
âJede bhi veer January 26
de âTractor Marchâ
te jana chaunde ne, oh kirpa karke sade nal sampark karan. Saade bujurg kisan pichle lambe samay to dharne te baithe ne, ayo ral k es itihasik din vich apna yogdan payiye. (All those brothers, who want to take part in the tractor march should contact the gurdwara management. Our elderly farmers have been sitting on protests for the past so many days, letâs join hands to contribute in this historic day.)”
