In a statement, Samyukta Kisan Morcha, which is an amalgam of 40 farmer unions, said "farmers and workers shall take out Tiranga marches to block, tehsil, district headquarters or their nearest Kisan Morcha or dharna" on August 15.

Farmers protesting against the Centre's three agri laws would observe Independence Day as "Kisan Mazdoor Azadi Sangram Diwas" and would take out Tiranga marches across the country, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) announced on Wednesday. In a statement, the SKM, which is an amalgam of 40 farmer unions, said "farmers and workers shall take out Tiranga marches to block, tehsil, district headquarters or their nearest Kisan Morcha or dharna" on August 15. "These marches will be taken out with the national flag on cycles, bikes, carts, tractors, etc," it said. The SKM here also reiterated their earlier decision that no "official flag hoisting functions" or "march with the national flag" would be opposed by farmers till August 15.
