The Kisan Ekta Morcha, a joint front representing the farmers protesting against the Centre’s agricultural laws, said on Wednesday that a four-hour countrywide “rail roko” or railway blockade will be held on February 18.
“On February 18, between 12 pm and 4 pm, a countrywide ‘rail roko’ programme will be held,” the official Twitter account of the farmers announced. The protesting farmers also announced events to commemorate the Pulwama attack on February 14, and said that all toll plazas in Rajasthan will be “toll-free” on February 12.
Earlier this month, the protesting farmers had observed a three-hour road blockade to push their demand of repealing the three farm laws.
