Villagers have constituted a committee to mobilise support and collect funds for the protest. “A meeting was convened in the wake of ongoing farmers agitation on Delhi-Haryana borders. It is really unfortunate that the CM is from our village, but we haven not heard any farmer-related statement from him. Hence, we shall oppose him,” said Sandeep Kumar, a resident who participated in the meeting.

Another resident,
