Last week, several volunteers had set up gyms and massage centres to maintain the health of the farmers as images of elderly peasants receiving a foot massage done gone viral on social media.
Not only Gym and massage machines, but the farmers were also treated with free pizzas at the sites of the protest.

However, there were also many who praised the initiative, dubbed as "Pizza Langar".
Whatâs the problem? Should only you people eat Pizza and go for spas? Why should a farmers always be in ragged clothes before you and beg before your masters?And of why should a Sikh always serve langar and not eat it too? #FarmersProtests pic.twitter.com/fY1hQcPoQA

Hundreds of farmers, mostly from Punjab, are camping at Delhi's Singhu, Tikri, Ghazipur and Chilla (Delhi-Noida) border points since the last 17 days.
The farmers' unions protesting the Centre's farm laws will take out a tractor rally on Sunday to block the Delhi-Jaipur Highway, vowing to intensify their protest even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the laws are aimed at doubling their income by facilitating access to alternate markets.
