‘He had been participating in protest’ A 70-year-old farmer from Rampur district in Uttar Pradesh allegedly ended his life at the Ghazipur border on Saturday morning, police said. Braving the cold wave, hundreds of farmers from Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are protesting against the farm laws at the Delhi-Ghaziabad border for more than a month. ‘Govt. responsible’ Rajvir Singh, national vice president of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, said, the farmer had been identified as hailing from Pasiapur village of Bilaspur block in Rampur. “He and his family have been actively participating in the protest for many days. In the note written in Gurumukhi that he has left behind, he held the government responsible for the current state of farmers as it had not been listening to their demands.”
