BATHINDA:

Backed by the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan), the aggrieved families said that the last rites would be performed until the Punjab government announces a compensation of Rs 10 lakh and a government job to a family member.

The affected families and the activists of the farm union announced the formation of a joint action committee lamenting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's "failure" to announce compensation to those who died and were injured in the accident even after 24 hours of the accident.
