The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha have called for a four-hour ‘rail roko’ protest on 10 March at nearly 60 places across Punjab and Haryana between 12 noon and 4 pm over various demands.
Kisan Mazdoor Morcha leader Sarwan Singh Pandher, while addressing the press, said the protesting farmers will squat on railway tracks at several places in Punjab, including Ferozepur, Amritsar, Rupnagar, and Gurdaspur districts.
The Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan), Bharti Kisan Union (Dakaunda-Dhaner), and the Krantikari Kisan Union will also participate in the ‘rail roko’ agitation.
Ahead of the rail roko, section 144 has been clamped in Ambala and the police are reaching the houses of several farmer union leaders.
