On the seventh day of farmers’ agitation at UP Gate, the protesting farmers tied up their cattle to mark their protest against the newly introduced agriculture Bill. A minor scuffle between police and farmers also took place during the day.
Manjit Singh from Saharanpur district and president of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), bound himself in shackles and reached the dharna site. Rakesh Tikait, President of the Indian Farmers Union, said that on December 3, the Central Government has called a meeting of farmer representatives.
“If there is no meaningful result in this meeting, then the farmers will be forced to break the barricades of the Delhi Police and march towards the Parliament House,” said Tikait.
He said that right now we are doing our movement peacefully on Gandhigiri Siddhant. “After this, our movement can take a violent form,” said Tikait. Following the Covid-19 outbreak, the Harsh ENT Hospital located in RDC Rajnagar reached out among the farmers on Tuesday and distributed free masks and gloves.
The doctors also examined the health of the farmers. In the same sequence, the Ghaziabad District Congress Committee put tea biscuits at the movement site and served tea and biscuits to the farmers throughout the day.
Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation has also provided mobile toilets and drinking water for the convenience of farmers. Municipal Commissioner Mahendra Singh Tanwar said that to avoid any mess at the movement site, cleaning workers have been deployed who will look after the cleaning arrangements there for 24 hours.
