Farmer Protest In Cold

In the past six months, the protesters have weathered biting cold and the second wave of COVID-19

Going firm on their demand for repeal of the new agri laws, hundreds of farmers spent another night in the cold and withstood spells of drizzle on Thursday at Ghazipur, their heavily-secured protest site at the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday asked why Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ministers can't meet the farmers protesting for days in the cold and resolve the issue.

India's agitating farmers show no signs of fading away. Angry cultivators have been camped on the doorstep of Delhi for weeks through north India's bitingly cold winter. They have shown a talent for staying in the headlines as well, with attention-grabbing stunts such as staging a tractor convoy to rival India's official Republic Day parade.

The seventh round of talks between the Centre and the protesting farmers is being heldwith two key issues still on board -- the repeal of the three agriculture laws and giving legal status to the minimum support price guarantee in the next round of talks.

The national capital today woke up to a heavy thunderstorm and rain, the cloud cover bringing down the temperature to around 8 degrees centigrade in the morning. Yet, the biting cold seems to have turned some farmers camped in makeshift conditions around the city's border only more defiant. Far from shivering and quivering, they stood there bare-ch...

Waterlogged tents, soaked firewood and blankets, and cold conditions -- farmers camping at Delhi borders in protest against new farm laws had a difficult morning on Sunday due to overnight rains.

The farmers, who have been camping on the borders of Delhi for over a month in protest against the new farm laws, continued their agitation amid a downpour leading to waterlogging at the protest sites.

A 57-year-old farmer on Friday died while protesting at the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border against the three contentious agriculture laws enacted by the centre last year. According to local authorities, the farmer appears to have died from Hypothermia -- a life-threatening condition in which the body temperature suddenly drops -- triggered by the cold ...

After foot massagers and washing machines, farmers protesting in Delhi's biting cold are now being treated to traditional head massage, or "maalish", by Kabaddi players who want to "destress" them.

A dip in the capital's minimum temperature and scores of women joining the ongoing farmers' protest has resulted in a make-shift "tent city" propping up at a petrol pump in the Singhu Border area.

As farmers continue to protest the centre's new agricultural laws, nurses and doctors from Punjab on Sunday extended their support and joined the protest at Singhu border. The medical staff from Punjab said they are ready to provide any assistance to the protesting farmers if anyone falls ill in the cold weather.

A farmer from Punjab protesting near the Delhi-Haryana border died early this morning, allegedly because of the bitter cold. The 37-year-old man, a father of three, was found dead at a site where thousands of farmers have been protesting for 22 days against central farm laws.

Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Monday appealed to the central government to take a decision soon to address the issues of farmers.

Farmers protesting the new farm laws say today's talks - the fourth since protests began in September - is the centre's "last chance" to call an emergency session of parliament and recall the controversial legislations. Speaking after two internal meets to chalk out their strategy, they also warned the centre against sowing discord in their ranks b...
