Mohali, December 14: In support of their demands, the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee has announced to make all toll plazas free in Punjab for a month beginning December 15.

The organization will also ensure that salaries of paid workers are being paid during the period. Trade union leader Gurubhachan Singh said that the homes of MLA and government ministers would be gheraoed. He said the KMSC has peacefully protested outside D.C. offices for the past weeks, raising demands of farmers that the government has ignored.
Farmers, workers and protesters seated in front of the DC office chanted slogans against the central and state governments and burned effigy of concerned leaders.
KMSC district chief Ranjit Singh Kaler Bala said that while the people are suffering from unemployment and poverty, the government is working for some companies instead of doing politics for the benefit of the people. He said that in the age of information technology, people are starting to recognize their rights and are preparing to force governments to move in the right direction by holding protests.
Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee will make the roads toll free for one month, toll exemption at 18 places in 10 districts in the first phase.
