In Delhi, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, a group of farmers, will carry a “Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat” at the Ramlila Maidan. Where a decision is likely to be enacted to “escalate the fight” against the policies of the central government.
The Delhi Police has authorized the farmers’ assembly with a condition that the maha panchayat will neither have more than 5,000 participants, nor tractor trolleys would be enabled near the venue. In Delhi, hundreds of farmers from Punjab begin arriving to participate in “Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat” at Ramlila Maidan.
