Farmers protest enters 3rd day at Karnal

Karnal: The farmers protest at Karnal demanding action against SDM Ayush Sinha over the lathicharge incident is fast turning into an agitation which is currently going on at Delhi borders in protest against three farm laws. Now, farmers have decided to keep protesting in Karnal just like they are doing in Delhi.

Farmers have set up their camp outside the mini secretariat of Karnal even as their agitation entered into the third day. The demand for action on the IAS officer has now become a prestige battle for the farmers. The farmer leaders, after holding talks with the administration on Wednesday, announced that the farmers' sit-in protest would continue until their demands are met.

The way the farmers have made preparations to put up a firm front outside the Sector 12 mini secretariat of Karnal, it has become clear that the farmers are adamant on their demands and are ready for a long haul. In the coming days, the locals are likely to face the same issue as the people living near the borders of Delhi are facing.
