Earlier today, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) observed "Black Friday" on February 23 after the death of a farmer at Khanauri Border during the ongoing protest. The announcement was made by Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait.  

"Putting nails on the road is not justified. If they put nails in our way, we will also do the same in our villages. We also have to do barricading of our villages. If they are not allowing us to reach Delhi, we will not let them enter our villages," Tikait stated.

The victim has been identified as Subhkaran Singh, a resident of Baloke village in Punjab's Bathinda district, farmer leader Baldev Singh Sirsa said.

On Monday, farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal said, "After holding discussion (on the Centre's proposal) in our two forums, it has been decided that the Centre's proposal is not in the interest of farmers and we reject this proposal."

Farmers plan to position their tractors along the highways leading to Delhi on February 26 and 27, demonstrating solidarity with protesting farmers and their key demands, including the minimum support price.
