Farmers assemble at the Shambhu border near Ambala as police fire tear gas shells

Farmers who were protesting were forced to disperse by the Haryana Police on Friday as they approached the barriers at the Shambhu border, which lies close to Ambala.

The farmers’ ‘Delhi Chalo’ march, which is on its fourth day, is demanding a legislative guarantee for the minimum support price (MSP) for crops. This new clash has arisen.

Punjabi farmers who are protesting have remained at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders, which separate the state from Haryana.

The first two days of the demonstration also saw altercations between farmers and Haryana Police officers.

The ‘Delhi Chalo’ march was called by the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) in an attempt to pressure the BJP-led federal government to accede to their demands.

“We ask the government to put an end to this,” farmer leader Pandher said of the use of force against demonstrators.
