The situation has gotten so dire that not only are Indian doctors begging for oxygen but the hospitals are filling up with COVID19 positive patients so fast that people have been dying on the pavement outside a well known hospital in the capital Delhi.
The SKM has also alleged that the government instead of strengthening the farm sector is creating cheap labour in metropolitan areas through an agricultural crisis.
Farmers union president Ugrahan made the bold announcement that on April 21 thousands of farmers including youth, and women from Punjab would once again march towards Delhi.
