Karnal/Bathinda/Palwal, February 6
Farmers on Saturday parked their tractor-trailers in the middle of roads and raised slogans against the Centre during a three-hour-long chakka jam agitation in Punjab and Haryana.
Women took part in the stir in a sizeable number at several places.
The call for the nationwide chakka jam was given by the Samkyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of farm unions protesting the Centre s farm laws at the Delhi borders.
Farmers blocked 11 points in Karnal district. Bastara toll plaza on NH-44 was the main site where farmers gathered.

BATHINDA/AMRITSAR/PATIALA: Funds have not been an issue for farm organisations which have been protesting around Delhi against the three central agricultural laws, with the sources of money, and material, ranging from membership funds, gurdwara committees and NRIs, to morning walkers, well-wishers and farmers themselves.
Farm protests against the laws have been going on for close to three months in Punjab and close to a month on Delhi borders. However, recently, questions have been raised over the sources of funds used for sustaining the protests, which are being touted as the largest in the world.
