Ramesh Dalal, the national leader of the farmers, was leading this farmers protest. One of the reasons for this protest includes alleged regulations in compensation awarded during the acquisition of the lands for making the rail corridor. Police tried to persuade the farmers not to jam the road, but they were stuck on their demands.
Before jamming the NH, farmers have also performed a “Havan” at Mandothi Toll Plaza on the KMP expressway in Jhajjar. Yesterday the Khap panchayat and the people displaced by the Haryana rail orbital corridor called for Haryana Bandh on 14 June 2023. Ramesh Dalal, the national farmer’s leader, also said that the farmer organization had broken the Munak Canal in Sonipat. Further, Delhi’s water has been stopped, and they will soon close all the rail routes to Delhi.
In a farmers’ meeting on Sunday, they decided to cut everything from Haryana to Delhi, including civil supplies like vegetables and milk. They also plan to call for a “Bharat Bandh” on 18 June 2023 amidst this farmers protest. During that Sunday’s meeting between farmers at Mandothi Toll Plaza, they also prepared a 25 points agenda and a 21 members committee which comprises the khap heads, representatives of the village, and various other prominent citizens from Haryana, Delhi, and Rajasthan.
