Protesting farmer unions Tuesday deferred their proposed tractor march from January 6 to January 7 due to a bad weather forecast, even as they asserted they will intensify their stir in the coming days.
Addressing a press conference at Singhu Border here, union leaders said thousands of farmers will take out the tractor march from all protest sites to the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) on January 7.
Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav said the decision to defer the march was taken over the forecast of bad weather condition on Wednesday.
The city has been receiving rains sporadically over the past three days.
