Several farmers from Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand on their tractors and trolleys came here at Ghazipur border (UP Gate) to support the ongoing farmers’ agitation against the Centre’s new farm laws. The farmers have camped at Indirapuram Ramlila ground near the protesting site.
“The district administration has made separate arrangements at the Indirapuram Ramlila Maidan for the farmers who have come to support in order to ensure that there is no untoward incident,” said an official.
Following the protest near GT Road Mohan Nagar, the traffic was also diverted by the police officials. District Magistrate, Ajay Shankar Pandey said that the matter has been resolved in time and there is no blockade of the road near GT road Mohan Nagar.
The DM after scores of farmers arrived at the site made arrangements at Indirapuram Ramila Ground. Meanwhile, former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat also reached UP Gate and announced his full support to the agitating farmers.
Rakesh Tikait, national spokesperson of Bharatiya Kisan Union, warned that the administration should not stop farmers coming to join the movement or else the results will not be good.
