The Samyukta Kisan Morcha said farmers will take out tractor marches on highways on February 26 and hold a Mahapanchayat at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on March 14. The death of a young farmer in clashes with security forces at the interstate border of Punjab and Haryana appears to have galvanised the farmers’ protest, with Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) set to join the agitation by observing a ‘Black Friday’ today.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha also demanded Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar and the state home minister Anil Vij be booked for the “murder” of the protesting farmer on the Punjab-Haryana border.
