Farmer Movement: A large group of farmers has set out to march towards Delhi from Shambhu border. This time, 101 farmers are joining this demonstration under the banner of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha. These farmers are marching towards Delhi on foot in a peaceful manner to protect their rights. While on the one hand the struggle of the farmers has reached its highest level, on the other hand, heavy police force has been deployed to stop these farmers on the Haryana border.

Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher has warned the government about this movement. He said that the mood of the farmers is now of "a fight to the finish". Pandher clearly said that the farmers will no longer make any kind of compromise on their demands. At the same time, he also said that if the government does not want to further intensify the farmers' movement, then it should start talks first.

Internet service shut down in Ambala

In view of the farmer movement, internet service has been temporarily shut down in many villages of Ambala. The areas where the internet will be shut down include areas like Dangdehri, Lohgarh, Manakpur, Dadiyana, Badi Ghel, Chhoti Ghel, Laharsa, Kalu Majra, Devi Nagar (Heera Nagar, Naresh Vihar), Saddopur, Sultanpur and Kakru. This step has been taken to prevent any kind of rumors or confusion from spreading during the demonstration. Although people will be able to talk on the phone at these places, but the internet service will remain closed till December 17.

Have tried to march to Delhi before

This is not the first time in the history of farmer unions that an attempt has been made to march to Delhi. Earlier also, on Sunday, the protesting farmers had to postpone their foot march from Shambhu border to Delhi. On that day, Haryana security personnel fired tear gas shells at the farmers, due to which many farmers were injured. Due to this, the farmers' march to Delhi failed again. At the same time, the protest was also postponed due to the deteriorating health of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal. Dallewal was on a hunger strike for the last several days and this decision was taken due to concern about his health.

Rakesh Tikait met farmer leaders of Punjab

United Kisan Morcha leader Rakesh Tikait recently met farmer leaders of Punjab and called for a united struggle against the government. Tikait said that farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal is our big leader and the whole country is worried about his health. He requested the government to take this situation seriously and open the way for talks with the farmers. Tikait also said that if the government ignores this issue, the farmers' movement will intensify once again.

Warning given to the government

Rakesh Tikait gave a stern warning to the government and said that the farmers will now have to show their strength. He said that the time to surround the borders of Delhi is over now, and now the farmers need to surround the national capital through the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway. Tikait also clarified that this time 4 lakh tractors may be needed in the movement.

This new turn in the farmers' movement indicates that the struggle will continue until the government holds serious talks on the demands of the farmer leaders.
