Protest flags, slogans, marches as farmers mark ‘black day’
NEW DELHI: Farmers agitating at three Delhi border points raised black flags, shouted anti-government slogans, burnt effigies and took out protest marches as they observed “black day” on Wednesday to mark six months of their stir against the three farm laws.
A brief ruckus was also reported from the Ghazipur protest site where farmers burnt an effigy of the Union government leaders amid heavy police deployment.
As part of their “black day” protest, the farmers put up black flags at the three border points -Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri -- to register their protest against the three laws as well as the Centre.
The Delhi Police has urged people not to hold the gatherings due to the Covid-19 situation and the ongoing lockdown.
Farmers in Punjab and Haryana
also put up black flags atop their homes and burnt effigies to protest against the controversial laws passed by Parliament last year.
