Ghaziabad: With winter knocking on the door, the leaders of the farmers on the Ghazipur border said on Sunday they began to arrange to handle cold.
Many members of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), who pioneered agitation above the gate, said the number of farmers who protested three agricultural laws from the center would increase after November 20.
Many farmers from various districts tend to flock to the gate after sprinkling their wheat plants, they said.
Samyukta Kisan Morcha’s meeting was scheduled for Singhu’s border on November 9 to discuss the direction of the protest.
The leader of the Jagtar Singh Bajwa farmer, who is also a spokesman for the border of Morcha Ghazipur, told Toi: “About 1,000 farmers have camped at the Ghazipur border at this time.
This number is expected to rise after November 20 because more farmers will join after completing their sowing process .
We have started making arrangements for mattresses, blankets and others.
“He added that SKM will receive a call on how the protest will be planned after November 26, when farmers’ agitation will complete one year.
“So many farmers have given their lives but the center has not made a positive decision.
The government has been busy hatching conspiracies of movements, but the solidarity of farmers and workers in the country has thwarted any such conspiracy.
The unity of movement is our success guarantee,” he said.
Last year, assistance was poured from various quarters on the Ghazipur border during the winter, when mercury dropped to one digit.
Some organizations of students and farmers from Punjab and Uttarakhand have distributed sweaters, scarves, blankets, shoes, and sandals among farmers.
