Protesting farmers stop wheat-laden train in Moga

A group of farmers protesting against the Centre's three farm laws on Friday stopped a wheat-laden train in Punjab's Moga district.

The train was stopped at the Dagru railway station after it came out of a privately-owned grain silo in Dagru village, the police said.

The protesting farmers sat down on the tracks, saying they would not allow the train to go out of the state, they added.

The move was part of the protesting farmers' agitation against big corporates, said Baldev Singh Zeera, state general secretary, Bhartiya Kisan Union (Krantikari).
