Protesting farmers to start marching towards Delhi from today
Chandigarh: Farmers’ organisations will start marching towards Delhi on Wednesday to press their various demands to the central government.
Their various demands to the central government include a legal guarantee on Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, pension for farmers and farm labourers, farm debt waiver, and no hike in electricity tariffs. “Tomorrow, on March 6, farmers from all over India will march peacefully towards Jantar Mantar in Delhi,” farmer leader Tejveer Singh told reporters at Shambhu Border on Tuesday. He said that farmers from various states made their arrangements for marching to the national capital.
“Farmers from Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Bihar have made all preparations to move to Delhi for the march,” Singh added. Meanwhile, Delhi Police have beefed up the security at the Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur borders, and railway and metro stations and bus stands in view of the farmers’ protest march.
