Delhi-Haryana Border, Dec 19 (ANI): Amid farmers' protest, a library-cum-cultural centre has been set up at Singhu border which aims to provide books and newspapers to youth and also impart school education to students from nearby slums. Apart from providing books, the library also offers them a platform to discuss current topics. There are 10 teaching volunteers and 150 volunteers for cleaning the area. The groups of volunteers are also actively teaching the slum students, who are unable to go to schools owing to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. "This place is Sanjhi Sath for discussion, for youth there is a library for reading. We have books in several languages available for reading. One more initiative is to teach slum students. Many parents came and asked if we could teach their ward as well," said a volunteer providing this service. Temporary library at protest site houses several newspapers and books, including biographies of revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh, Che Guevara. The protest by the farmers at the borders of national capital against the three new farm laws entered the 24th day on Dec 19.
