The Rail Roko call by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha evoked good response in Punjab as farmers blocked several railway tracks disrupting rail traffic on several locations in the state.
Acting on the call farmers had blocked railway tracks on around 50 locations in all 23 districts forcing the Railways Authorities to cancel or divert nearly 30 trains of Ambala division bound to Punjab and nearby states.
The farmer leaders had given the call for Rail Roko for three hours from 12pm to 3pm, after the Haryana police did not allow them to enter Haryana after repeated attempts.
In Amritsar the farmers had blocked trains at six locations including Devidaspura, Beas, Pandher Kalan, Kathu Nangal, Ramdas, Jahangir and Jhande.
