The Hindu
‘Our demands are the same as when the movement started seven months ago; more people will be joining the agitation in the coming days’
Marking the seven month of their ongoing agitation against the three agricultural reform laws, farmers at the Singhu border agitation site on Saturday said they are ready to stay put till 2024 — when the next general elections are due. Avtar Singh, who runs the makeshift hospital at Singhu border, said the protest has grown just like the hospital. “This hospital started from a table and now it is a full-fedged hospital with almost all services, tens of beds, and a fully equipped pharmacy. Just like this, the protest started from a two day-event and now it’s been seven months,” he said.More Related News
