The organization released a notice saying that general public, relatives and parents of those people who went missing in Delhi after 26 January 2021 tractor parade can contact their representatives so that legal proceedings could be filed in New Delhi for locating them.
"And in case if they have been arrested, proceedings for bail will be initiated so that they can return to the families as soon as possible," said the notice.
Panthic Talmel Sangathan's lawyers also offered legal aid to farmers. An advocate working under the banner of Sangathan said, "Most farmers were booked under the Damage to Public Property Act, Epidemic Diseases Act and Ancient Monuments and Archaeological sites and Remain Act.
