Om Vir Singh, a 64-year-old long-distance runner and athlete, has come out in support of the 'Bharat Bandh' called by farmers by doing what he knows best.

Singh said, "I am expressing my solidarity with the protesting farmers by running. Ever since the agitation began, I've been running for 15 km every day. Going forward, as long as the farmers are sitting here, I will continue to run 21 kilometres every day in support of their demands."
