Bharat Bandh call by Kissan Unions affects 36 passenger and mail trains in Ferozepur Division
Ferozepur, September 27, 2021: To mark the first anniversary of the enactment of the three farm laws, Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a coalition of farmers’ unions, has called for a nationwide Bharat Bandh on Monday. In view of the Bharat Bandh call by Kissan Unions on Monday, the railways cancelled/short terminated/rescheduled, 36 passenger/ mail trains in Ferozepur Division, causing inconvenience to the passengers.
All major road routes, including the rail tracks, remained blocked from 8 am to 4 pm except allowing the emergencies services in the city.
Farmers have been protesting at different sites since November 26 last year against the three enacted farm laws: Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
The Modi government has passed three anti-farmers legislatures. Farmers are continuously fighting against it for more than 11 months. Farmer leaders and the Centre have held several rounds of talks but the impasse remains.
