Farmers started arriving at Jantar Mantar on Monday morning ahead of proposed Kisan Mahapanchayat. Security has been beefed up by the Delhi police at Delhi borders ahead of a proposed Kisan Mahapanchayat (grand assembly of farmers) in central Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.
Farmers from different states are expected to participate in the assembly to press for demands including a law guaranteeing minimum support prices for their produce.
“The mahapanchayat is a one day-long peaceful event where we will reiterate our demands such as a legal guarantee on MSP and cancellation of Electricity Amendment Bill 2022 among others,” said Abhimanyu Singh Kohar, SKM (non-political) member and organizer of the ‘mahapanchayat’.
