Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher on Wednesday said farmers have given a call for 'Punjab bandh' on December 30 as he slammed the Centre for not accepting the demands of protesting farmers.
Pandher said the decision to give the 'bandh' call was taken by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha. "There will be a complete 'bandh' on December 30," said Pandher.
Addressing the media in Amritsar, Pandher said emergency services will remain operational during the 'bandh'.
He appealed to people, including traders, businessmen, transporters to make the 'bandh' successful.
"Like the 'Rail Roko' protest was a success. Similarly, the Punjab bandh should also be made successful," he said.
Train services in Punjab were affected as farmers squatted on rail tracks at more than 50 places on Wednesday as part of their three-hour 'Rail Roko' protest to press the Centre into accepting their various demands, including a legally binding minimum support price for crops.
