Ghaziabad farmers extend protest to 19th day as neighboring villages pledge support

Farmers in Kanawni village, Ghaziabad, continued their protest for the 19th consecutive day on September 1, 2026. The demonstration has gained momentum following a mahapanchayat held on Sunday, with farmers from neighboring villages arriving at the protest site to express solidarity with the Kanawni farmers and pledge full support to their cause.

The visiting farmers amplified the voices of the Kanawni protesters, declaring they stand firmly with them in their fight for legitimate demands. They made it clear that if required, they are ready to join the struggle completely, signaling a potential expansion of the movement beyond a single village.

The protesting farmers from Kanawni have expressed frustration over what they describe as the administration's failure to seriously consider their demands. They emphasized that the sit-in will continue without interruption until concrete decisions are made on their issues and justice is delivered. The farmers warned that this is no longer just a local matter confined to Kanawni, but has evolved into a broader fight for farmers' rights and entitlements across the region.

The protesters cautioned the administration against ignoring their voices, threatening to widen the scope of the agitation if their concerns continue to be overlooked. Among those present at the protest site were Mahendra Nagar, Kabul Singh Nagar, Shripal Nagar, Selak Nagar, Bhagwat Singh Nagar, Shrichand Nagar, Lakhiram Sharma, Sukhbir Singh Nagar, Karan Singh Nagar, Prakash Nagar, Bhopal Nagar, Rohit Nagar, Bhagatram Jatav, and Trikha Jatav, along with several other farmers who have maintained their presence throughout the protest.
