New Delhi: Farmers protesting at the Singhu border here opened up a gymnasium and invited others as well to use the facility.

“We have brought all the gym equipment and till the time central government does not agree on our demand, will do exercise at this location only,” Jaspreet Singh, a farmer was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police have beefed up security at several border points by deploying more force and placing multi-layered barricades as farmers are all set to block the Delhi-Jaipur highway on Sunday.

The protests against the central government’s new agricultural reforms now have entered Day 18.

Protesting farmers said that major highways linking the national capital will be blocked from today. They would sit on a hunger strike on Monday. But the farmers allowed the reopening of Chilla road at Noida border on late Saturday night, officials were quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
