BATHINDA/PATIALA: Not waiting for the outcome of talks between Union ministers and leaders spearheading the latest agri protest, farmers from across Punjab started leaving their villages in large numbers, many from the farthest border villages of Amritsar, for Delhi after offering prayers at local gurdwaras on Monday morning.
The protesters are expected to gather on the Punjab side of the border and, if talks fail, charge towards Haryana on Tuesday morning.Long lines of tractors could be seen trudging along the highways of Punjab through the day, with green-coloured farm flags atop them and trailers turned into makeshift homes with tarpaulin sheets for rooftops. Haryana has sealed almost all borders with Punjab and put in place multi-layer barricading. tnn
