Farmers’ 4-hour ‘rail roko’ protest today, trains to face disruptions | 10 points


Farmers, who resumed marching towards Delhi on March 6, will hold a nationwide ‘rail roko’ agitation for four hours on Sunday. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha had called for the agitation to continue pressing their demands to the Centre. The ‘rail roko’ protest, which will be held between 12pm and 4pm, comes a few days after the ‘Delhi Chalo’ march.

The protesting farmers are demanding a law guaranteeing a minimum support price (MSP) – a condition they had set in 2021 when they agreed to withdraw their agitation against the now-repealed farm laws. They are also demanding the implementation of the Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations, pensions for farmers and farm labourers, farm debt waiver, withdrawal of police cases and justice for the victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence, reinstatement of the Land Acquisition Act – 2013, and compensation to families of farmers who died during a previous agitation in 2020-21.
