Ludhiana, January 24

Youth, women and children took part in a tractor march taken out in support of farmers here today. The rally presented a unique sight as city residents rode in tractors, jeeps, cars, two-wheelers and even bicycles for nearly 35 km through several parts of the city.

Starting from from South City at 10 am, the tractor rally passed through the newly constructed Ladhowal bypass, GT Road (NH-44), Clock Tower, Jagraon Bridge, Ferozepur Road and Sidhwan canal. It concluded at the starting point after nearly six hours. A few women driving tractors and a group of Harley Davidson riders remained the star attraction of the march.

All through the route, onlookers cheered and raised slogans in support of farmers while many others marched with the cavalcade for some distance.

A prominent industrialist Ranjodh Singh said the NDA government was testing the patience of agitating farmers.
