Farmers Disrupt COVID-19 Vaccination In Haryana's Kaithal, Chase Away Doctors To Oppose Farm Laws

Amid India's nationwide vaccination drive against COVID-19, yesterday (16 January), farmer protesters in Haryana's Kaithal chased away doctors from a vaccination centre and disrupted the drive, reports Mirror Now.

The farmers who disrupted the vaccination at the centre and chased away the doctors from the facility did so in a bid to voice their opposition to the three recent agri-sector reform laws which had received the Parliament's and President Ram Nath Kovind's assent months ago.

The development comes at a time when a stalemate on the three laws continues between the Government and protesting farmers who have blocked several borders of the national capital. The protesters continue to demand a complete repeal of the three laws, which the Government has not agreed to.
