Farmers from Punjab and Haryana are well prepared for a long haul after occupying highways leading to the national capital

New Delhi: Hundreds of thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana have stationed themselves at Delhi’s doorstep leading to an unprecedented standoff between the centre and farmer unions. In the past few years, farmer protests in Delhi were largely a day or a two-day event packed with speeches demanding loan waivers and remunerative prices. This time round, it is markedly different.

Farmers from Punjab and Haryana are well prepared for a long haul after occupying highways leading to the national capital. There is a palpable sense of calm yet gritty resolve. They have arrived. But they are in no hurry to return. At the Singhu border farmers have literally set up a giant village stretching for over twenty kilometres on the national highway and turned tractor trolleys into mini caravans.

The roof of the trolleys are covered in bright sheets of plastic— to ward of the biting cold-- and hay and mattresses are stacked on top of each other to make sprawling beds. Farmers have built a home away from home. And the turbaned farmers smilingly invite every visitor with hot tea—and keep pestering to share a meal. Langars (community kitchen) are on round-the-clock with young volunteers serving food. In small groups some can be seen chopping vegetables or clearing trash, as clothes flutter on makeshift clotheslines.
