In Punjab, farmer groups responded by blocking railway tracks in several locations across the state; but subsequently announced they were moving off the tracks and would allow goods trains to ply. The Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has announced to impose power cuts from four to five hours in villages and one to two hours in cities. #Punjab runs out of power as coal stocks dry up completely due to goods trains’ suspension. “ Later, we even cleared platforms and cleared that also and have now taken our protests to the railway parks outside the railway stations,” Rajewal said. “We cannot move them as we are waiting for farmers to lift their protests from the railway sites,” Kumar said.
