Farmers Halted at Shambhu Border During Delhi Protest March

Police block farmers' march to Delhi using tear gas and water cannons, citing security concerns as tensions escalate at the Punjab-Haryana border.

A group of 101 farmers marching to Delhi was stopped by police at the Shambhu border, marking the 307th day of ongoing protests over agricultural demands.
Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the farmers, who are demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support prices (MSP) and other reforms.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher criticized the government for ignoring their concerns and called for nationwide solidarity to amplify their voices.
The Haryana government temporarily suspended mobile internet and SMS services in parts of Ambala to prevent misinformation and potential unrest during the protests.
Tensions remain high as farmers vow to continue their demonstrations, with a Supreme Court meeting on the issue scheduled for December 18.
