two persons were dead on arrival and one seriously injured. "No postmortem has

The farmers decided to block their visits over Mr Mishra's recent speech in which
he has brushed off the protests, saying it was a protest of "10-15 people and it
would take just two minutes to make them fall in line".

"The farmers had planned to gherao a helipad to stop the Deputy Chief Minister
from getting off. Once that programme ended and most people were on way back,
three cars came... and mowed down the farmers... one farmer died on the spot
and another in the hospital," said Dr Darshan Pal, a leader of the farmers' union.

administration so far. Comments
