Farmers close India today in protest of agricultural laws, support of trade unions

One year of implementation of agricultural laws

Emergency services like hospital, ambulance will continue, markets, shops etc. will be closed: Kisan Morcha

New Delhi: Farmers on the 27th announced a nationwide strike against the central government's agricultural laws. Farmers' India Bandh has been supported by all opposition parties. Led by the United Farmers Front (SKM), 40 farmers' organizations have appealed to the people to support the 27th Bharat Bandh. The closure of the farmers' India will intensify the agitation against agricultural laws.

During the Bharat Bandh, farmers will hold rallies at various places as well as demonstrations. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha has said that the Bharat Bandh will be held from 6 am to 4 pm. During this time all government and private offices, education and other institutions, shops, industry and commercial institutions will be closed.

On the other hand, hospitals, emergency services, medical stores, relief and rescue operations will remain open during the shutdown. If any ambulance is to pass through any of the areas where farmers are sitting on the picket demonstration, the road will be paved immediately. Freight motor vehicles will not be allowed inside or outside Delhi.

Several private transport associations have also joined in support of the United Farmers Front. Opposition parties have backed the farmers' India ban. Meanwhile, the farmers' leaders have appealed to the people not to leave the house without a reason as leaving the house may cause them trouble.

People have also been appealed to support the Bharat Bandh. Farmers have appealed to traders from small to big to join the Bharat Bandh and keep their shops, markets, trades etc. closed and join the Bandh for one day.

Meanwhile, in the western part of Uttar Pradesh, the course of events has become very bright. Mahapanchayats are in vogue in western Uttar Pradesh, a stronghold of farmers, especially those growing sugarcane. Just a few days ago, Rakesh Tikait called a mahapanchayat. The Mahapanchayat has been held there again. The basic issue is not the opposition to agricultural laws but the problems of farmers.
