Farmers complained that none of the officials reached out to them in the last nine. “Even after nine days, no one from the government has reached out to us. We will continue our protests till all our demands are not met,” said the protesting farmers.
ASP Motaram and DSP Gautam Jain have also held meetings with the protesting farmers and asked them to move their tractors and other vehicles from the roads for the smooth flow of vehicular activities. However, the farmers refused the police instructions and continued with the protests.
