If the Centre is really concerned about farmers, labourers and the public, it they should repeal the three laws immediately,” said Darshan Pal Singh, a member of the SKM.The SKM also condemned the Centre for the crumbling health infrastructure in the country. “It has not learnt anything from the last year’s experience,” it said.Meanwhile, the SKM honoured people living near the Singhu border.It also demanded vaccination centres at the protest sites and anti-Covid equipment. — TNS
