A candlelight march was held during the “Delhi Chalo” protest to honor farmers who lost their lives.
Tensions escalated between security forces and farmer protesters, resulting in casualties including Shubh Kiran Singh, Darshan Singh, Gyan Singh, and Narendra Pal Singh.
The central government is urged to address the farmers’ concerns in the upcoming meeting with global trade organizations.
To ensure the safety of farmers, the Modi government is called upon to defend their rights, according to the Samyukta Kisan Morcha.
In a bid to quell the protests, the Modi government imposed a complete internet ban in seven Indian states.
Efforts to break barriers in Shambhu and Khanauri resulted in injuries to protesting farmers, as reported by Indian media.
