Ghaziabad: Thousands of farmers arrived at Ghazipur on the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border to mark one-year anniversary of the ongoing farmers’ protest against the central laws on Friday.

Many of them brought along vegetables, sacks of flour and lentils, spices and cooking oil on their tractor-trollies, saying they had come prepared for a long haul.

Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU), an influential farmers’ union from western Uttar Pradesh, has been leading the charge at the Ghazipur border since November last year.

Though, the centre government had announced111 to repeal the contentious three-farm bills but farmers are reluctant to left the protest till the government passed the resolution in the parliament and also give grantee on the MSP.
