Ludhiana, July 11
Farmers across the state will resort to four-hour ‘rail roko’ agitation from 11 am to 3 pm on July 31 in response to a call given for nationwide protest by the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM). The decision was taken at a state body meeting at the office of the Bharti Kisan Union (Lakhowal) here today.
Giving details, Harinder Singh Lakhowal, BKU general secretary and SKM state committee member, said the farmer bodies would hold district-level conventions from July 18 to 30 to mobilise support for the protest.
Further, the SKM took a decision to ensure maximum participation of farmers in the conventions against the Agnipath scheme to be organised from August 7 to 14 and a 75-hour morcha at Lakhimpur Kheri from August 18 to 20.
