Bharat Bandh LIVE: Farmers calls for nationwide strike today to press for their demands on farm laws

Farmers have called for a nationwide strike (Bharat Bandh) on Tuesday to protest against the three farm laws. Today is the 13th day of the farmers stir who are demanding from the government repeal the three laws which they believe are against the interest of the community. The bandh is being called by the farmers a day before the sixth round of talks between the farmers and the government. The two sides are holding talks to break the logjam, but the dialogues have yielded no positive result so far. Farmers have said that they will disrupt the supply of vegetables, foods and fruits on Tuesday. They have threatened to block key roads during their chakka jam protest from 11 am to 3 pm as part of their agitation. As many as 18 political parties including the Congress have announced support to the Bharat Bandh call.
