Farmers Protest: 2,000 Tractors And Vehicles With 6-Month Food Supplies

 

A report reveals that farmers in India are planning to enter Delhi through remote and non-motorable borders, with around 1,500 tractors and 500 vehicles from Punjab alone mobilized for the protest. The farmers have identified specific entry points into Delhi, including Shambhu Border, Khanori, and Dabwali, and have visited several states to seek support. Tractors have been modified to serve as shelters for the farmers during their protest, and many of these poor protesting farmers have iPhones and some own Lamborghini.

To avoid detection, the farmers plan to enter Delhi in small groups and hide in places like gurudwaras, dharamshalas, ashrams, and guest houses. They will then hold snap protests in the city. Security agencies are concerned that important locations like the Prime Minister’s House and the Home Minister’s House could be potential targets for these protests.

Punjabi farmers are protesting and blocking railway tracks as part of their ongoing protest. They have put forth 12 demands to the central government, including the scrapping of the Electricity Amendment Bill 2020 and the reintroduction of the Land Acquisition Act of 2013. They are also demanding a minimum support price (MSP) for all crops, a complete debt waiver, and a pension scheme for farmers and farm laborers. The government has called for a third round of talks with the farmer leaders to discuss their demands.
