Police effort to prevent them from entering the city proves futile.
Defying the lockdown, a large number of farmers from across Haryana gathered in Hisar on Monday in protest against the police action on agitating farmers during Chief Minister Manohar Lal’s visit a week ago. Farmers, including women, started assembling at Krantiman Park in Hisar around noon travelling in tractors, multi-utility vehicles and mini-trucks despite attempts by the police to prevent them from entering the city. All-India Kisan Sabha national president Ashok Dhawale, Bharatiya Kisan Union national spokesperson Rakesh Tikait, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Charuni) president Gurnam Singh Charuni and Bharatiya Kisan Union (Rajewal) president Balbir Singh Rajewal, among others, were present at the protest site.More Related News
