A man from Siwan, Bihar cycled nearly 1,000 km to the Delhi-Haryana border in Tikiri to join the ongoing farmer’s protest on Thursday. Satyadev Manjhi, 60, completed the entire journey in 11 days.
Talking to the media, Manjhi urged the government to take back the three farm laws. He added that he will be there in the protest until the movement is not over.
Since the end of last month, thousands of farmers have been gathering from Punjab and Haryana at the Delhi border, demanding that the three farm sector laws passed by the Government of India in September be scrapped.
