HT Correspondent

KARNAL/PATIALA: Rail services will be impacted in the state, on Wednesday, as protesting farmer unions will hold a state-wide "Rail Roko" protest demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) and other demands.

The protest is said to be held at 52 locations in 23 districts of the Punjab. Farmers will stage a sit-in on railway tracks for three hours - 12 to 3 PM.

The "rail roko" is likely to have an impact on over 20 passenger trains under the Ambala division, officials said on Tuesday.

Convener of Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM), Sarwan Singh Pandher, while talking to HT, said that the people of Punjab should come out in large numbers to extend their support to the ongoing farmer agitation. They should participate in the Rail Roko protest so as to make it a people's movement, he added.
