The farmers sitting on dharna and fast unto death in front of district administrative complex (DAC), will hold massive protest on March 6 in Ferozepur, under the banner of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dalewal, representing BKU Ekta Sidhpur, demanding to allow to till land between two fences at Indo-Pak border
The farmers have been protesting since February 14, claiming their right to till their land in between fence and zero line near the Indo-Pak border which they had been tilling for the last so many decades, even by their ancestors. Now they have banned the entry by imposing Section 145, across the fencing. Two groups of farmers are claiming their right over the land. Even one group has levelled charges on the other group of being involved in various criminal cases on recovery of drugs from the land near the fencing.
