In midst of the ongoing protest against the Centre’s farm laws, an international NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) Khalsa Aid has set up a ‘Kisan Mall’ at the Tikri border in Delhi to provide items of daily use for free of cost to them.
According to reports, the racks are stocked with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, oil, shampoo, vaseline, combs, mufflers, heating pads, knee caps, thermal suits, shawls and blankets, among other essential things for farmers.
Guru Charan, the store manager said,
"We distribute issue a token to farmers through Khalsa Aid with which they can procure items from Kisan Mall. They arrive here with a token. We have made a list of things available. All things which are of daily use are available here. Khalsa aid volunteers pick things as per the requirements of farmers and give it to them in the bag. We distribute over 500 tokens every day".
Moreover, the farmers agitation entered into day 30 on Friday and the Central government asked the farmer unions to give them a time and date for the next round of discussions that will be held in Vigyan Bhawan with ministers.
