New Delhi: In a big humanitarian effort, Khalsa Aid on Friday established temporary foot massage camps to provide relief to hundreds of farmers protesting against controversial farm laws at the Singhu border (Delhi-Haryana border).

Khalsa Aid, which is an international NGO, installed 25 foot massagers for the protesting farmers and confirmed that they plan to extend their services.

While speaking to media, Khalsa Aid India's MD Amanpreet said, "We are at Singhu border and we have taken initiative and set up a facility of foot massage for old farmers as they are protesting for a very long time and they must be tired."

Talking about other initiatives of the NGO, Amarpreet said, "We have set up 400-bed waterproof tent house and washrooms. Geysers have also been set up."

One of the NGO workers confirmed that around 500 farmers used the service today and Khalsa Aid would soon install more machines for the farmers' comfort.

According to their Facebook page, Khalsa Aid India has also opened stalls at the Singhu Border.

They said that they are providing aid to the farmers. The stall was also visited by the Punjab and Haryana Bar Council chairman and his delegation. A thousand blankets and 500 mattresses were handed over to Khalsa Aid India as well.

The ongoing protest of the farmers against the three new agriculture laws entered its 16th day today with the farmers' unions now threatening to block railway tracks.
