While some lay writhing in pain on the roads of Shambhu border, others tried to document the brutal assault on farmers, on social media platforms that amass a million users. “Your account has been withheld in IN [India] in response to a legal demand” – was the message displayed on their social media pages. But farmers say, “You block our handles but not our resolve.”
