News Desk: Farmers at the Jandiala Guru railway station in Punjab’s Amritsar on Tuesday continued with their rail blockade on Tuesday to protest the farm bills passed during the monsoon session of Parliament in September. They stopped the Golden Temple Mail, which operates from Mumbai Central to Amritsar, at the Beas railway station. The train was diverted from Beas and it arrived in Amritsar via Taran Taran.
State President of Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee Satnam Singh Pannu said “We are ready to give our life if the central government does not scrap these laws, which are against farmers”
Amritsar’s district collector Gurpreet Singh Khaira requested farmers “It will be very helpful for the administration if you clear the blockade. We know your grievances. The people who are coming via trains are also the people of Punjab, you must think of them and should stop the blockade”. But the farmers were adamant that they shall not allow passenger trains to operate until the farm bills were not withdrawn.
