Farmers who have been agitating at the three borders of Delhi have called for a road blockade called Chakka Jam for three hours. The farmers have been protesting since last 72 days and it is going on.
PM Modi said that he is just a phone call away but the farmers are in mood to go for the discussions. The farmers are protesting against the Internet jam and also not giving any solution to them.
They are demanding for the removal of farm laws.
But the Government said that they will keep the laws in abeyance for 18 months. The farmers are in mood to accept the offer given by the Government.
Today they have blocked the highways across the country and the entire opposition is supporting them. Some arrests have also been made by the police for disrupting the traffic.
The farmers gave slogans against the Government. The road blockade is from 12noon to 3 PM. All the vehicles stopped by the farmers will be given water and food by the farmers. All the essential and emergency services will not be stopped.
The three farm laws introduced by the Centre last year have become the bone of contention between the farmers and the government.
The three farm laws are known as The Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance 2020, The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Ordinance 2020, and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Ordinance 2020.
