Chandigarh, February 3: The stage on which Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait and other farmer leaders were standing, collapsed during the ongoing Jind Mahapanchayat. As the stage collapsed, people, who were present at the meet, were seen walking away from the stage. Huge commotion was witnessed at the spot where the stage collapsed. In the video that has been shared by news agency ANI, several men were seen fixing the stage set up after it suddenly collapsed.
