Farmers in Punjab squatted on railway tracks at many places in the state as part of their four-hour ‘rail roko’ agitation against the value cut announced by the Centre on shrivelled and broken wheat grains due to untimely rains.
The protest impacted the movement of many trains and caused inconvenience to passengers.
Several farmer bodies including Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) and BKU (Lakhowal) had announced that they would block rail tracks from 12 noon to 4 pm.
