Farmer injured during the ongoing protest in Punjab
During the on going 10 day protest by farmers, a clash broke out between police of Baluna police station and the farmers here on Saturday morning.
A farmer was injured after the clash broke out on Bathinda-Dabwali road today.
Farmers stopped the supply of vegetables, fruits, milk and other items to various cities of Punjab and Haryana as part of a nationwide strike against alleged anti-farmer policies of the Centre.
"We are getting very good response from fellow farmers for their support to this agitation. At majority of places in the state, farmers have stopped bringing vegetables, milk and other items to the cities for sale," claimed Balbir Singh Rajewal, president, Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU).
The decision to stop supplies starting from June 1 till June 10 was taken by farmers under the banner of Kisan Ekta Manch and Rashtriya Kisan Maha Sangh.
"During the 10-day long protest, the farmers will stay in their villages and will not go to cities for supplying their produce," he said.
"However, they can sell their produce among villagers," he added.
