New Delhi, Dec 12 : Agitating farmer unions here have circulated a message among their cadres across the nation to make India a ‘toll-free’ country for Saturday in the ongoing protest against the three farm laws enacted by Parliament.
The message was circulated a day ago and the announcement was made in two previous farmers’ meeting held at Singhu border on Delhi-Chandigarh highway on Thursday and Friday.
