On Friday, the Kissan Ittehad (farmer's association) took to the roads, sitting on their tractors, to protest the hike in prices of electricity, fertilisers, agricultural products, and diesel.

The farmers have also announced to stage a dharna on March 31, 2021, to continue their protest.

In Multan, the tractor rally passed through the city's NLC bypass and reached Chowki No 9 and Eid Gah Road in Khanewal.

The protesting farmers stopped at various points during the rally to chant slogans, while many of them also held placards.

The protesters said that on March 31, farmers from all over Pakistan would reach Lahore on their tractors and stage sit-ins there.

According to the protesters "everything is so costly, the agricultural community is on the verge of collapse."

The PTI-led government bought agricultural commodities at very low prices, so much so that farmers could not even attain a breakeven.
