Responding to a call by BKU (Chaduni) chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni, farmers gathered at several toll plazas in Karnal and Ambala on Saturday and made passage of vehicles free to press for various demands.
One of the demands raised by the farmers is for a bonus of Rs 500 on the purchase of per quintal of wheat crop.
They have also been seeking toll-free passage for vehicles of those living within a 15-km radius of the plazas, besides the recruitment of local people to run toll booths in the state.
In a video message on Friday evening, Chaduni appealed to the farmers to gather at toll points and make the passage of vehicles free for three hours from 10 am to 1 pm.
