In the heart of the Capital city, a patch of public land is barricaded at the two ends. From sunrise to sunset, this zone hosts protesters, speakers, activists, listeners, the flag-bearer, the radical, the patriot and the dissenting anarchist. Some have come here after losing most of their hope of a redressal. So some carry a petition, others make a rhetorical point, or voice a deep disenchantment with the Establishment.
the Democracy Street finds room for every protester. In the story here, a Union of Farmers has gathered to voice their protest against govt's heartless farm policy. Some provincial governments have written off their bank-debts. That, they believe is no solution. They want reasonable & assured prices for their farm produce. How can their elected govt indulge the big industry through concessions n' reliefs, while the farmers are left to fend for themselves ? That is the sum of their multiple grievances.
