Every day, attendees are offered a variety of items such as dal, roti, tea, biscuits, choori, sandwiches, sugarcane juice, bread pakodas, rice, and kheer, provided by different individuals and organizations.
The protest site also witnesses the presence of prominent political leaders and artists supporting the cause.Despite cold weather, the protesting students spend their nights on mattresses and have set up small tents to sustain their agitation.
A literary table with a collection of books is also available for visitors.Gagandeep Singh of Students for Society (SFS) explained that initially, students brought tea from a nearby canteen on their own.
Soon, people from neighboring villages began contributing food and langar services. The movement now benefits from a wide array of food offerings, thanks to the grace of God and community support.
This peaceful yet determined morcha exemplifies the students’ strong demand for holding Senate polls, reflecting their resolve through continued protest and widespread sewa participation.
