Farmers to block KMP Expressway on Saturday: Farmer union leader

Protesting farmers will block the Kundli Manesar Palwal Expressway on March 6, a Samyukta Kisan Morcha leader said on Monday, according to PTI. Balbir Singh Rajewal said that a call has been given to farmers camping at three Delhi border points to block the KMP Expressway from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday. Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at the Delhi border points --- Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur --- demanding a complete repeal of three farm laws enacted in September last year.

"We will block the KMP expressway on March 6 as part of the intensification of the ongoing protest," Rajewal told PTI. The 136-km Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway or the western peripheral expressway was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018.
