Farmers rehearse for January 26 tractor rally

Mandi Ahmedgarh, January 16

Activists of various organisations protesting against farms laws are all set to make Tractor Rally at Delhi a success.

To garner support from residents of the region, tractor rallies are being organised as a token of rehearsal.

A cavalcade of over 200 tractors crossed the local town and surrounding villages today.

Led by their leader Sher Singh Maholi, activists of Bhartiya Kissan Sabha Ekta (Ugrahan) called upon members of all sections of society to support the agitation of farmers. “Contrary to the common belief that farmers are protesting for protection of their rights, the ensuing agitation is for preventing the economy from collapsing,” said Sher Singh Maholi. The rally had started from Toll Plaza at Lehra on the Ludhiana-Malerkotla highway, where farmers had been organising a dharna since the onset of ensuing agitation.

Saudagar Singh Ghudani, an office-bearer of the union, said presidents of all units had been asked to prepare teams of volunteers from their respective villages, who would reach Delhi borders two days prior to the Republic Day when a massive tractor rally is scheduled to be held.

Activists of various other outfits organised another tractor rally from Himayunpur village to Dry Port at Kilaraipur where protestors joined a dharna already being held under supervision of Harnek Singh Gujjarwal. — OC
