Farmers gather at YPS Chowk to discuss strategy
Description
Mohali: Hundreds of farmers gathered on an empty ground next to YPS Chowk on Sunday morning to discuss future strategy on farm protests. Farmers said they meet every Sunday at Shehri Panchayat to discuss silent protest modes in the city. As the farmers, who were carrying farm union flags, gathered, their leaders delivered speeches for over two hours. Farmers reiterated their opposition to the three farm laws and said they would continue their silent protest at roundabouts, light points and in villages till these were repealed. Mukhtiar Singh, a local farmer, said, “Our motive is not to create a ruckus on the road. Silent protests against the Centre will continue.” Besides farmers, many school/college students and residents of Mohali also come out in their support in the evening after their study/work hours every day. Harminder Singh, a resident of Mohali, said “We all belong to the farmers’ family and will support them when they need us.”
