Commuters face harrowing time at Singhu border as restrictions intensify in view of farmers’ march



All the vehicles, including buses from Sonipat, were stopped near the sealed border and the people walked on foot to reach Delhi and used other modes of transport, mostly autos and e-rickshaws, to reach their destinations.A man, accompanied by his wife, pleaded with the police personnel to be allowed to get past the barricades, saying he had to go to Rajouri Garden, where one of their relatives had passed away.Buland Singh, a courier service worker, said he was stuck up at the Singhu border since 2 am on Wednesday, while trying to reach IGI airport to collect parcels for delivery.”I called up my office and asked what to do since movement is not allowed. They asked me to find a way and move past the border. But I am completely frustrated as the movement is not allowed and I stand to lose my daily wage if I do not get the parcels,” Singh said.The daily wage earners and factory workers across the Singhu border faced hard times reaching their work places at factories, warehouses and banquet halls, and other such establishments due to the sealed borders and restricted movement.”I have to reach my factory in Delhi but there is so much problem here at the border. Similar was the situation in the farmers’ protest last time in 2021. I do not know how will I reach my factory if this situation continues,” rued Rahul, a factory worker from Sonipat.The Singhu border was closed from November 2020 to December 2021, with farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and other states staging a sit-in there in protest against three farm laws brought by the Centre.
