Members of Awaken India demonstrate in Dadar on Wednesday

Over 30 environmental groups from the country have come together under the banner 'Greens With Farmers' to show support to farmers protesting against the three farm laws passed by the Centre recently. The citizens' movement group 'Awaken India', who have been raising their voice against the mandatory wearing of masks and the upcoming rollout of 5G network have also lent their support.

On Wednesday, Awaken India members gathered at Dadar's Kotwal Garden with banners reading 'Say No To Monopoly Of Our Food Supply' and 'GMO Seed = Corporate Greed'. Feroze Mithiborwala, member, Awaken India, said, "Today being Constitution Day, our farmers have chosen to march for their rights and safeguard the democracy of our country. The proposed bills will lead to deregulation of markets, further push the government-enabled corporatisation of agriculture, and will open agriculture to transnational companies. The march to Delhi was being planned for three months but the media did not pay attention until now."
