Farmers protesting for a legal guarantee on Minimum Support Price (MSP) and other demands have suspended their march towards Delhi after a violent clash with the Haryana police at the Shambhu border. Over 15 farmers were injured in the confrontation, which involved tear gas shelling and the use of water cannons by the police.
The farmers, who began their third attempt to enter the national capital at 12 pm, were blocked from advancing by the authorities. Despite their determination, the escalating violence forced the protestors to halt their march temporarily. The farmers’ leaders are set to convene an internal meeting to decide on their next steps.
The incident has intensified tensions, as the farmers demand urgent attention to their issues, including a legal MSP guarantee. The ongoing standoff at the Shambhu border highlights the deepening frustration of the farming community with the central government’s response to their grievances.
