GREATER NOIDA:

The protest on Monday is expected to cause traffic disruptions near Pari Chowk.

The farmers have alleged that despite the government forming a committee last month to address their demands, no progress has been made yet.

Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait is expected to join the protest on the expressway. Meanwhile, some farmers remain in jail following their arrest at the Zero Point during demonstrations in the first week of December.

Sunil Pradhan, spokesperson for BKU-Tikait, said that the decision to hold the Mahapanchayat was taken during a meeting of the group recently.
