Bathinda/Sangrur, March 29 -- The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) staged protests outside the offices of all 23 deputy commissioners across the state to condemn the police crackdown on the farmers' movement.

They organised a four-hour 'gherao' of the offices. SKM was not part a part of the protests at Shambhu and Khanauri borders by the SKM (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM).

The Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ekta Sidhupur), a key constituent of SKM (Non-Political), stayed away from Friday's protest. The Sidhupur faction of BKU said their top leaders were released from jails on Friday and they had gathered to see them.
