Protesting farmers in Punjab, organized by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, plan to block railway tracks in Ferozepur, Amritsar, Rupnagar, and Gurdaspur districts during a 'rail roko' protest on March 10. Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal urges the government to ensure legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP) on all crops. Kisan Mazdoor Morcha leader Sarwan Singh Pandher announces the railway track blockades. Affiliated unions, including Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) and Krantikari Kisan Union, will also participate. The protest aims to press for MSP legislation, criticizing the government for importing palm oil but not prioritizing farmers' MSP.
