NEW DELHI: The protesting farmers on Monday announced that they would block all national and state highways in the country for three hours on February 6 in protest against the internet ban in regions near the agitation sites and farmers being ignored in this year's Union Budget. Swaraj India chief Yogendra Yadav said that the roads will be blocked between 12 pm and 3 pm on February 6.

"Last year, budget allocation for the financial support extended through loans to Food Corporation of India for procurement at MSP was Rs 1,36,600 crore. Less than Rs 85,000 was spent. No amount is allocated this year. Such things make farmers think that it's a conspiracy to shut FCI," Yadav said during a press conference.
