Punjabi Cultural Council urges Centre to extend ex-gratia benefits to all 162 martyred farmers

Chandigarh, Jan 24 (UNI) Urging the central government to consider all martyred 162 farmers for ex-gratia benefits, the Punjab Cultural Council (PCC) has written to the union agricultural minister to repeal farmer laws forthwith thereby accord due honour to the 'Anndatas' who have given their prime for ensuring food security for the nation.
Besides, the PCC has also asked the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to give personal intervention thereby helping the farmers at Delhi borders with proactive support.
In the letter, PCC Chairman Harjeet Singh Grewal and vice chairman Tejinderpal Singh Nalwa said tragically Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have already lost 149 precious lives during protests at the Delhi borders since November 25 against centre's shameful arrogance and callous attitude.
