The farmer leaders led by BKU’s divisional president Baburam Tomar, tehsil president Devdutt Sharma and others are opposing collection of toll tax for a road which has not been completed yet and also lacks facilities for commuters.
Narinder Singh Nayagaon, district president of Panchkula unit of BKU (Charuni), said that after the meeting we have decided to extend support to Congress candidate Varun Chaudhary for the Ambala constituency
BKU supporter farmers largely followed the bandh call and kept off their daily farming activities while many others continued their daily work. A group of protesting farmers forced a few sugarcane weighing centres to close down in Bijnor and also asked traders in Afzalgarh to close their shops .
