Punjab farmers to make toll plazas free on July 14 over land pooling policy, FTA concerns

Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal announced a toll plaza blockade for July 14. Protesters will demonstrate against the Punjab government's land-pooling policy. They also protest alleged irregularities in the Land Mortgage Bank. The proposed India-US free trade agreement is another point of contention. Farmers demand the immediate withdrawal of the land policy and action against bank officials.
