After farmers suspended their agitation against the now-repealed three farm laws, they have started vacating Delhi borders where they have been stationed for more than a year.
They have dismantled their settlements, removed tarpaulins, tied bales of clothes and now are in the process of returning home.
As per reports, the farmers will take out a victory march to celebrate their success of repeal of the farm laws.
At the spot, farmers can be seen removing bamboo sticks used for erecting and tying tarpaulins and loading them in tractors. They hugged each other and bade good bye.
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) decided to suspend their agitation after the government repealed the contentious laws and assured them to fulfill the rest of the demands.

Before leaving, the farmers at Singhu border offered prayers and organised langar as well.

In a day or two, all roads will be cleared, and within a few days, they will be put through for traffic.
