Farmers agitating against the new agri laws on Thursday said they will block railway tracks if their demands are not met and will announce date soon.
In the wake of the ongoing farmer protests over the Central farm laws, the Northern Railway authorities extended the cancellation, short-termination and diversion of at least 16 trains in the state of Punjab falling under the supervision of the Ferozepur Railway Division.
Farmers agitating against the new agri laws on Thursday said they will block railway tracks if their demands are not met and will announce the date soon. Addressing reporters at the Singhu border where they have been protesting for almost two weeks to demand a rollback of the law, the farmer unions also reiterated that they will intensify their agitation and start blocking all highways leading to the national capital.
On the other hand, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday urged union leaders to consider the proposals and said he is ready for further discussions with them.
