Farmer Leader Sarwan Singh Pandher was asked about the death of a farmer named Gyan Singh, who was a member of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) due to a heart attack, at the Shambhu border on Friday morning. He said, “Central government is the reason behind this agitation. We have a lot of people here (Shambhu border) participating in the protest including elders. We are facing difficulties in receiving medicines at the right time and even getting food, and resting."

Notably, the farmers across India are observing Bharat Bandh today. Farmers have been protesting against the Central Government to emphasize their demands that include a legal guarantee on Minimum Support Price (MSP), loan waiver, pension scheme, and justice for the victims of Lakhimpur Kheri violence. 

Meanwhile, the Punjab Government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has offered support to the farmers' agitation as they believe that farmers have the right to protest and that their demands are valid.
