Waterlogged tents, soaked firewood and blankets, and cold conditions farmers camping at Delhi borders in protest against the new farm laws had a difficult morning on Sunday due to overnight rains.
The continuous downpour led to waterlogging at agitation venues and waterproof tents did not help much, according to protesters.
Farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar, who is a member of the Sankyukt Kisan Morcha, said farmers have waterproof tents but those are unable to protect them from the biting cold and waterlogging. The situation is very bad at protest sites due to rain which has caused waterlogging. There is so much cold after the rains, but the government is not able to see our misery, he said.
