After the violence on 26 January, the deserted Singhu border has started to color again. The farmers are returning to the picket with their tractors and trolleys. The deserted pandals, langar and stage lights are returning to the performance venue again. In view of the hot weather, farmers have started installing fans and small coolers in their trolleys.
Farmers have also started special preparations to avoid the heat after the cold. Closed pandals are being opened from everywhere due to cold, so that people can get fresh air and get relief from heat. In order to keep the farmers getting cold water at all times, arrangements have been made to send jars of cold water and bottles of cold water to every batch.
United Sikh NGO director Pritam Singh told Amar Ujala that due to the heat, farmers have started putting coolers and hanging fans in their tractors and trolleys. A large number of farmers are reaching us with demand for coolers and feathers. Our team has started surveying to provide fans and small coolers to farmers. After completion of the survey, we will make fans and coolers available for their batches.
Haryana’s farmer leader Ravindra Rana told Amar Ujala that we have brought about one thousand small coolers at our level. All coolers will reach the Indus border by next week. After this, we will put it first among the batches of women and the elderly. After this, they will give other farmers in tractor and trolley.
As far as water is concerned, we are distributing thousands of small water bottles between common people and farmers. As the heat increases, water bottles will be ordered in large numbers and distributed among people, so that no one has any problem due to water.
Significantly, the peasant movement against agricultural laws has been going on for the last 85 days. But after the violence on Republic Day, thousands of farmers had returned to their homes from the Singhu border and Ghazipur border. Due to which the protest venue was almost empty.
