Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement to cancel the three laws, farmers had stayed put at protest sites, citing their other demands
Farmers camping at Delhi's Singhu and Tikri borders will take out a victory march today as they return to their villages in Punjab and Haryana after a 15-month agitation that forced the centre to withdraw three contentious farm laws.
Farmers are now dismantling their makeshift accommodations at the border sites as the agitation, which braved forces of nature as well as tags of "terrorists" and "khalistanis", draws to an end.
Special arrangements have been made along the highways to greet the farmers as they head home on tractors, it is learnt.
The victory march was initially planned for yesterday, but it was postponed in the wake of the tragic helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu that killed 13 people, including Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat.
