New Delhi, Dec 14: Over 2,000 women from the families of farmers protesting against the Centre’s new agri laws at Singhu Border here will join the ongoing agitation in the coming days, as peasants are set to intensify their protest further to press their demands.
Farmer leaders said they are making arrangements to host the women members coming from various parts of Punjab — tents are being put up, a separate langar is being planned, and extra temporary toilets are being arranged. The aim is to give them a safe and comfortable environment to stay at the protest site, they said. Farmer leader Harendir Singh Lakhowal said that a Delhi-based organisation donated around 2,00 tents on Sunday which are now being put up at Singhu as well as Tikri borders, especially for women. Shiv Kumar Kakka, one of the 33 farmers who observed hunger strike at Singhu border on Monday, said it is not an agitation of Punjab farmers alone, but of farmers from across the nation. (PTI)
