Meanwhile, members of Kisan Mazdoor Sangarsh Committee started their journey to Delhi to join the farmers’ protest. SS Pandher, a member of the committee, said that about 700 tractor trolleys were moving towards Delhi’s Kundli border. Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, have been camping along Delhi’s borders for over 15 days, saying they won’t leave until the government rolls back what they called the “black laws.”The Centre has tried to allay fears in several rounds of talks, but has refused to repeal the legislations. The Delhi Traffic Police took to Twitter to inform people about road closures and advised them to take alternative routes to avoid inconvenience, reports PTI. On Thursday, farmer unions threatened to block railway tracks across the country and all highways leading to Delhi if their demands are not met.
