VINAY KOCHHAR.CHANDIGARH.
SKM has once again announced a march to Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab and Haryana. This time SKM is preparing to surround the Punjab Assembly. Farmers have announced a march towards the Punjab Assembly on March 26. Farmers will gather at Sector-34 ground and march towards the Assembly.
Earlier on March 5, SKM had tried to march to Chandigarh. However, all the borders of Chandigarh were sealed by the police, due to which the farmers could not enter Chandigarh. At the same time, the farmers had challenged CM Mann to an open debate on the demands, but the Morcha criticized CM Mann for not reaching the meeting and said that Mann is running away from his responsibility.
SKM leader Ugrahan had said that Chief Minister Bhagwant asked us about our plan for the protest on March 5, to which we replied that the discussion is pending and after that we will decide on our plan for the protest. He said that the Chief Minister got angry and left the meeting. However, later Chief Minister Mann said that his doors are always open for talks with the farmers, but inconvenience and trouble to the public in the name of agitation should be avoided. The Chief Minister said that the government is always ready to resolve issues related to different sections of the society through dialogue, so that the common man can be saved from trouble through railway or road blockades.
