Protesting farmers at the Tikri Border in West Delhi have used cement, bricks and gravel to build brick floors as the agitation against the recently passed farm laws enters its second month.
Apparently, rainfalls flooded the tents arranged at the state border and the dissenters have thus come up with this permanent solution to combat any weather atrocities.

“Our tents were flooded with water due to rains, we had to sit throughout the night. We have used bricks & cement to build the floor & plan to construct more in coming days,” one of the protesters was quoted by ANI as saying.
The rebel farmers have rolled out several amenities at the protest sites over the course of the last month or so. Pictures of the protesters relaxing in massage chairs went viral across the internet a few weeks back.
Similarly, people were seen baking pizzas in viral pictures. Even a makeshift gym was set up at Singh on 17 December as protesters claimed that working out is a part of their daily routine.
