New batches of farmers from Ferozepur, Mansa, Moga, Bathinda, Sangrur, Barnala, Patiala, Samana and other places of Punjab and from various Haryana districts equipped with truck loads of food grains and commodities like mattresses, quilts, milk, lassi, flour, pulses, vegetables, edible oils, LPG cylinders and other eatables started their ‘Delhi Chalo’ journey late last night, said Malkiat Singh, a young farmer from Shahkot in Jalandhar.
He revealed that the farmers’ unions of the area have now started sending new batches to replace the protesters camping at the Delhi border for the last five days. Amar Singh, a resident of Gharuan village near Morinda, said that many farmers participating in the protest for so many days will return to tend to their wheat crop and look after their families.
