The Bengal unit of the All India Kisan Sabha and other farmers’ unions stopped trains at various stations across Bengal on Monday. The events were organised as a part of the Rail Roko appeal made by the Sanjukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of farmer’s associations, which has been spearheading the farmers’ protests against the three contentious central farm laws. The protests were organised to demand the removal of Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra. His son Ashish Mishra is the prime accused in the Lakhimpur incident. In Bengal, the Rail Roko was organised across the state including Burdwan, Singur, Jhitka, Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar, Tamluk, and Birbhum.
