Regardless of the cold, wind, these farmers are sleeping on the road, under the tractor wherever they can find space. The photos and videos of the protests are all over the social media.

One such farmer was spotted on TV by his daughters in the United States, and a few days later he was seen handing out clothes to others to protect them from the cold. Farmers have been protesting on the Haryana-Rajasthan border of Delhi-Jaipur Highway 48 on the Rewadi Kheda border from 30 days. Among them was Satnam Singh, a farmer from Maksudpur in Kapurthala, Punjab who was expressing his views regarding the protest to a TV news reporter when his daughter saw him on TV in America.She saw her father and other elderly farmers braving the harsh winter in the national capital and sent them woolen clothes. When Satnam distributed the woolen clothes among the farmers felt, they asked him where these clothes came from. He said that the clothes were sent by his daughters Gurpreet Kaur and Talwinder Kaur, who live in the United States.
