Rains, waterlogging cause inconvenience to farmers protesting at Delhi borders

Waterlogged tents, soaked firewood and blankets, and cold conditions failed to dampen spirits of the agitating farmers who continued their protest at Delhi borders against new farm laws had a difficult morning on Sunday due to overnight rains. Gurwinder Singh, who is camping at Singhu Border, said there is waterlogging at some places as civic facilities are not up to the mark but asserted that the weather will not dampen the spirit of farmers who have been protesting for over a month.

Veerpal Singh, a protesting farmer, said their blankets, clothes and wood are soaked. "Our clothes are soaked due to waterlogging caused by rains. Besides, we are facing difficulties to cook food as rain water has also soaked firewood. We do have an LPG cylinder but not everyone here has it," he said.
