Withstanding challenges, the farmers under the banner of Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan) continued their day-night protest against the state government outside the Mini Secretariat for the sixth consecutive day on Saturday.
With court complex fortified after the blast, the farmers had shifted their protest outside the secretariat, but they have announced to continue the protest till December 30. Another meeting has been scheduled on December 30 to discuss the demand of debt waiver.
