The two 'Lalkaar' rallies will be held on December 16 and 18 in Barnala and Amritsar, said Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan) General Secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokari.
The decision was taken by farmers and Khet Mazdoor unions in Ludhiana, he said, adding the state government has failed to resolve farmers' issues despite reminding it several times.
