After the Punjab government opened Shambhu and Khanauri border, there is anger against the government among the farmer-labor organizations.

The peacefully protesting farmers have been beaten up, their tents have been uprooted and they have been pushed. Due to which, the siege of DC offices across the state will start from today to express anger against the government and Punjab Police. The Punjab government, in connivance with the central government, has hatched a conspiracy against the farmers, and they will have to face the consequences.
