The nationwide chakka jam, called by farmers agitating against three new farm laws, is on Saturday. During the chakka jam, the farmers intend to block all national and state highways to re-energise and revive their protest marred by violence that erupted during the tractor rally on Republic Day.
However, contrary to rumours on social media, there is no call for Bharat Bandh. The chakka jam is scheduled to be held between 12 noon and 3 PM on Saturday. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the united front of farmers protesting against new farm laws, has urged protesters to hold chakka jam peacefully and has invited all countrymen to join farmers in ending it at 3 PM by continuously honking their vehicles for one minute. The Congress has lent its support to the chakka jam.
