On the completion of 4 months of the demonstration of the farmers on the borders of Delhi against the agricultural law, the United Kisan Morcha has called for a Bharat Bandh against the government. During this time, the National Highway 9 at the Ghazipur border has been vigorously guarded by the police administration.

However, this road was opened a few days ago by the police administration and people going from Delhi to Ghaziabad-Meerut could go from here. But the farmers blocked the National Highway i.e. Delhi-Meerut Express Way in the morning, due to which the CISF, Delhi Police and Paramilitary Forces personnel were seen stationed on the highway.

In addition to the barricades, water canon trains have also been installed by the police administration on the highway. Actually, this Bharat Bandh will be done from 6 am to 6 pm. All shops, malls, markets and institutions will remain closed under Purna Bharat Bandh.

Front farmers have also made it clear that small and big roads and trains will also be blocked. All services will remain closed except ambulance and other essential services. There will be effect of Bharat Bandh inside Delhi also.

According to the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, representatives of various farmers’ organizations, trade unions, student organizations, bar associations, political parties and state governments have supported the call on this call.

United Kisan Morcha has asked for the demand for Bharat Bandh, first three agricultural laws should be repealed, second the MSP and the law should be made on procurement, third all police cases against farmers should be canceled, fourth electricity bill and pollution bill should be returned and diesel , Petrol and gas prices should be reduced.

The Morcha appealed to all the protesting citizens and said, make this bandh successful by remaining calm. Do not get involved in any kind of illegitimate debate. It is the result of the patience of the farmers that the movement has gone so long and we are getting successes constantly.

In fact, farmers have been staging protests at various borders of the national capital since November 26 last year against three newly enacted farm laws.

Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; The Government is opposing the Farmers Empowerment and Protection Agreement on Price Assurance and Agricultural Services Act, 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
