To show solidarity with Punjab farmers who have been sitting at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders over legal guarantees for minimum support price for crops since February 13, farmers in many districts of Haryana, including Kaithal, Hisar, and Panipat on Monday carried out tractor marches. During the march, farmers demanded that the Centre take prompt action, as SKM (non-political) President Jagjit Singh Dallewal has been on an indefinite hunger strike since November 26, and his health is deteriorating day by day.
Meanwhile, in Kaithal, farmers from different villages gathered at Kisan Chowk in Kalayat and held a march to the SDM office. After the protest, they submitted a memorandum to the tehsildar, seeking the intervention of the Prime Minister in the ongoing protest at the two borders, which has been going on for the past 11 months. In Hisar, farmers took out a tractor march on the Delhi-Sirsa highway from the Ramayana toll plaza to the Hansi mini secretariat and later submitted a memorandum to the SDM.
In Panipat district, farmers took out a march on the Panipat-Rohtak road, in which Bajrang Punia participated and demanded a legal guarantee on crops. After the protest, they handed over a memorandum to the SDM to press their demands.
