Muzaffarnagar's gurdwaras open doors to farmers, say can feed them all

Muzaffarnagar: With thousands of farmers and activists assembling at Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar for Sunday's massive 'Kisan Mahapanchayat', the city's five main gurdwaras and several others on its outskirts have opened its doors for all of them. The city's gurdwaras have started welcoming the farmers and the community representatives have begun offering their services with langar facilities since Friday. Automatic roti-making machines have been set up for rolling out the supplies on a mass scale. There are five main gurdwaras in the city, along with several others on the outskirts. Pradhan of the city's main gurdwara, Guru Charan Singh, said, "As many as five gurdwaras will serve langars. We can feed them all. In addition, the Sikh community's banquet hall and schools will be available for farmers to take rest." The automatic roti-making machines at the gurdwara can make 1,000 rotis in an hour, Satpal Singh Maan, a member of the gurdwara management, said. Farmers from several states - protesting against the three farm laws - are expected to take part in the 'Kisan Mahapanchayat' at the GIC ground on Sunday. Massive security arrangements are also in place for the event.
