Waterproof Tents Set Up To Protect Farmers From Rain

Hundreds of waterproof tents have now come up at the back of “KFC” mall at Singhu border with both the ground and first floors now acting as temporary shelters for farmers. Mattresses have been laid out in the empty shops, doubling up as further refuge for the farmers who had earlier been camping outdoors.

With a spell of showers being experienced recently, more farmers have been moving into the arrangements that were set up last month. While close to 3,000 farmers are being housed there at present, those guarding the area said there was a capacity of over 10,000 as there was space to add more tents on the second, third and fourth floors of the mall.
