New Delhi, Jan 3 : Amidst fiery speeches, exaggerated sounds from tractors all around getting set to travel to a village in Rewari from the Tikri border, photographer and filmmaker Randeep Maddoke remembers the time when he worked as an agricultural labourer and a daily factory worker near his village in Moga, Punjab for Rs 50 a day. He also remembers how once he had to borrow Rs 12,000 from a teacher to pay tuition fee at the Government College of Art in Chandigarh.

Farmers continue protest at Delhi borders amid heavy rains, waterlogging
Overnight rains in the national capital added to the miseries of farmers who have been camping on the borders of Delhi for over a month in protest against new farm laws, with the continuous downpour leading to waterlogging at agitation venues. Farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar, who is a member of Sankyukt Kisan Morcha, said on Sunday that farmers have waterproof tents but they cannot protect them from 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.

Overnight rains in the national capital added to miseries of farmers who have been camping along the Delhi border for over a month in protest against the Centre’s new farm laws, with the continuous downpour leading to waterlogging at agitation venues.
Farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar, who is a member of Sankyukt Kisan Morcha, said on Sunday that even though farmers have waterproof tents they don’t protect them from the low temperatures and waterlogging.
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.
