Bengal: Farm Protest Forces COVID Vaccine Truck To Take Alternate Route

In West Bengal's East Burdwan district, a truck carrying COVID-19 vaccine had to take an alternate route as the scheduled road was blocked by the farm laws protestors. Organized by the Jamiat Ulama-E-Hind and led by minister Siddiqullah Chowdhury, the sit-in had allegedly blocked the Burdwan-Durgapur highway. While BJP leader Kailash Vijaywargiya lashed out at the disruption, Chowdhury said he had asked people to give way to emergencies, and called the blockers probable "BJP supporters".
