The rebel farmers have rolled out several amenities at the protest sites over the course from December, 2020. Back then, pictures of the protesters relaxing in massage chairs went viral across the internet.
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.
Meanwhile, the ongoing farmers’ protests have nearly completed three months and common citizens continue to face major connectivity issues around the borders of the national capital.
The dissidents have still blocked the Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri border sites, which has compelled the police to divert vehicles and cause traffic congestion in certain parts of the city amidst peak hours.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
