• The detained farmer leaders claimed to start a hunger strike in protest against the police action.
• In Moga, women protesters protested outside the deputy commissioner’s office and scrambled with the police.

Political fierce fast

• The Aam Aadmi Party reiterated the support of the farmers, but at the same time it was also necessary to call the state’s economy and traffic restoration.
