The farmers had stormed the Mohali-Chandigarh border on Tuesday, May 17 to press their various demands, including a bonus on wheat and advancing the paddy sowing schedule from June 10.

Chandigarh: As many as 23 farm unions of Punjab, all members of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), had stormed the Mohali-Chandigarh border on Tuesday, May 17 to press their various demands, including a bonus on wheat and advancing the paddy sowing schedule from June 10.

Initially, the Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government was reluctant to engage in a dialogue with the farmers. In fact, the chief minister had cancelled a meeting with them, which was scheduled to take place on Tuesday, as he left for Delhi in a haste.

Even after coming back to Chandigarh late at night, he called the farm unions’ protest “unwarranted and undesirable”.

The protesting farmers were carrying ration, beds, fans, coolers, utensils, cooking gas cylinders and other items with them. The protest was led by familiar names from last year’s farmers’ movement: Darshan Pal of Krantikari Kisan Union, Jagjit Singh Dallewal of BKU (Sidhupur), BKU-Krantikari chief Surjeet Singh Phul and others, who are also among the key members of SKM.

However, Mann on Wednesday, May 18 agreed to meet the representatives of farmer bodies after they threatened long haul protests at the border, bringing back last year’s memories of the farmers’ movement outside Delhi borders.
