Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has announced to provide Rs 2 lakh as compensation to 83 people arrested by the Delhi police for carrying out a tractor rally in the national capital on January 26.
“Reiterating my government’s stand to support the ongoing farmers’ protest against three black farm laws, we have decided to give Rs 2 lakh compensation to 83 people arrested by the Delhi police for carrying out a tractor rally in the national capital on January 26,” Channi tweeted.
On January 26, protesters broke barricades to enter New Delhi and clashed with police in several parts of the national capital during the January 26 ‘tractor rally’ protest organised by farmers.
The protesters also had entered the iconic Mughal era monument Red Fort and unfurled their flags from its ramparts.
