New Delhi: Thousands of farmers who have been camping on the highways in and around Delhi began a ‘tractor march’ against new farm laws on Thursday morning.
Called by 40 farmer unions, the march started on the Western Peripheral Expressway that starts at Ghaziabad and ends in Palwal. This expressway makes the other half of the Western Peripheral Expressway, making a circle around the National Capital Region or NCR.
A 135-km six-lane arc that partially surrounds the National Capital Region and acts as a high-speed thoroughfare for cargo trucks was filled with tractors, said media reports.
