SKM to supply food to Delhi hospitals

Sonepat/Jhajjar, April 26 Under the coordination of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM ) constituents, farmers sitting on several borders of Delhi will distribute food packets and other important goods to the hospitals of Delhi. Giving this information through a press note, SKM leaders said farmers on the Ghazipur border had already started distributing food at the bus terminals, railways stations and hospitals of Delhi. The packing process will be started on the Singhu border tomorrow while a group on the Tikri border has announced the launch of essential services and asked people to contact the morcha if anyone in Delhi has a problem regarding the availability of food. “The citizens of the country are themselves helping each other when the government machinery has collapsed. In Delhi, when people are in a bad condition of health, serving each other is an example of fraternity and unity. Vehicles of oxygen or other services are coming on the way of the farmers’ protest. Volunteers are helping those vehicles to reach the destination with full help. The farmers’ movement honours human values,” said Dr Darshan Pal, a SKM leader. Abhimanyu Kohar, another farmer leader, said they were fighting for secure and fair prices of their crops and it was not illegitimate. It may be the aim of the government to suppress the agitation of the farmers to keep the corporate houses happy, but the farmers would not withdraw from this movement until the repeal of the three laws and the legal recognition of MSP, he added.
