The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), the umbrella organization which represents the farm unions, had called a four-hour nationwide rail blockade. After holding the Rail Roko for four hours, the SKM asked the government to repeal the farm laws saying that the "anger among farmers is intensifying" in the country.


Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesperson Rakesh Tikait on Friday reiterated the protesters point of not withdrawing the agitation till demands are met by saying that the protest would continue even if the farmers are forced to sacrifice their crops. "Centre should not be under any misconception that farmers will go back for crop harvesting. If they insisted, then we will burn our crops," Tikait added.
