Sukhbir Badal appeals protesting farmers not to stop ambulance, emergency service during Kisan March
Farmers Protest in Punjab, Kisan March: Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday appealed to all protesting farmers and cadre not to stop an ambulance or emergency service vehicle during protest march and dharnas.
As many as two lakh people will join the historic Kisan Marches in 40,000 vehicles starting from all three Sikh religious Takhts to Chandigarh on Thursday where the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) will hand over a memorandum demanding revocation of the recently passed Agricultural Acts to the central government through the Punjab Governor.
On Wednesday, Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said that while party President Sukhbir Singh Badal would lead the Kisan March from Sri Akal Takht at Sri Amritsar Sahib, former union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal would lead the march from Sri Damdama Sahib at Talwandi Sabo and Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra from Sri Keshgarh Sahib at Sri Anandpur Sahib.
The party Spokesman Cheema also said that the march from Sri Amritsar Sahib would travel via Jalandhar, Phagwara, Nawanshahr, Ropar, Kurali, and Mullanpur before culminating at Chandigarh.
He said the march from Talwandi Sabo would travel via Maur, Rampura, Tappa, Barnala, Sangrur, Bhawanigarh, Patiala, Rajpura, Airport light, Zirakpur, and Chandigarh.
The Kisan march in Punjab from Sri Anandpur Sahib will join the march being led by the SAD President at Ropar bypass.
Dr. Cheema said the Kisan March from Amritsar and Talwandi Sabo both would start at 8 am and that from Anandpur Sahib would start at 10 am.
He said due to a shortage of time all three Marches would proceed directly towards Raj Bhawan instead of assembly at Dussehra ground first as planned earlier.
