Farmer Leaders Say Will Block Roads Across The Country On Saturday
Farmers protesting against the Centre's three farm laws have called for a countrywide "chakka jam" protest on Saturday. The duration of the protest will be three hours -- from noon to 3 pm -- during which they plan to block transport on highways. The announcement was made on Monday evening -- the day the aborted march to parliament was planned – the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of farmer groups.
