Farmers Resume March to Delhi After Clashes at Shambhu Border

Protesting farmers demand MSP guarantee, farm debt waiver, and justice for past violence as police use tear gas to block their progress.

A group of 101 farmers resumed their march to Delhi after being halted by Haryana police using tear gas and water cannons at the Shambhu border.
The farmers are calling for a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP), a farm debt waiver, pensions for farmers and laborers, and justice for victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher criticized the central government for its lack of engagement and accused it of ignoring their demands despite months of protests.
The Supreme Court rejected a plea seeking the removal of farmers from highways, citing the need for peaceful protest rights despite disruptions caused by road blockages.
Haryana authorities have reinforced security at the border with barricades and suspended mobile internet in some areas to prevent further mobilization.
