Farmers struggling to get 2nd dose of COVID vaccine: Rakesh Tikait

Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rahesh Tikait on April 22 at Ghazipur border said that many farmers are struggling to get the second dose of COVID vaccine.

"Farmers are at their home. Where else will we ask them to go? Is COVID spreading from here? We have been living here for last 5 months, it's our home now. Many farmers took vaccine but are struggling to get the 2nd dose. We have told officers to set up camp here," said BKU leader.

Farmers have been agitating against farm laws at Delhi's border from past 5 months.
