  • 3 years ago
Farmers in Punjab blocked three roads, including the Amritsar-Delhi national highway, and held agitations at several places on September 14 against three farm ordinances promulgated by the Centre. Different farmers’ outfits raised slogans against the Centre for bringing the “anti-farmer” ordinances and demanded their rollback. Commuters faced inconvenience due to the road blockade as the authorities diverted traffic. Farmers are demanding a roll back of the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Ordinance, 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020.
