Farmers Protest Updates Today: Farmers from Punjab and Haryana are being accorded a rousing welcome with sweets and garlands at several points on their return home on Saturday for the “victory” of their protests after the suspension of the agitation against the repealed farm laws. Families of farmers along with fellow villagers at many places on the Delhi-Karnal-Ambala and Delhi-Hisar national highways along with other state highways enroute were welcoming and honouring the peasants coming in tractor trolleys with garlands, ‘ladoos’, ‘barfi’ and other sweets. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of 40 farmers’ unions, on Thursday had decided to suspend the over a year-long farmers’ movement against the three contentious farm laws and announced that farmers would go back home on December 11 from the protest sites on Delhi’s borders. Villagers and others who supported the farmers’ agitation carrying farmer bodies’ flags, showered petals on peasants as they assembled on the roadside of the highways to welcome them.
Traffic slowed down on the Delhi-Sonipat-Karnal National Highway (NH) on Saturday as farmers began returning to their home states of Punjab and Haryana in large convoys of tractors and other vehicles, officials said. Vehicles were moving in long queues on the highway. In view of the large convoy of tractor-trolleys and other vehicles, traffic snarls could be witnessed at many places on the NH. Families of farmers along with fellow villagers at many places enroute were welcoming the peasants from Punjab and Haryana with garlands, ‘ladoos’, ‘barfi’ and other sweets upon their return to their homes after the suspension of the one-year-long agitation against the Centre’s three farm laws. Farmers, mainly from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, started protesting at Delhi border points on November 26 last year against the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, Farmers’ (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
