Farmers protest LIVE Updates
Farmers from Punjab and Haryana are headed for Delhi as a planned protest against the Centre's new farm laws. Farmers who are protesting against the three new farm laws will try to reach Delhi through five highways connecting the national capital as part of their "Delhi Chalo” march call. The All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC), Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh and various factions of Bharatiya Kisan Union have joined hands and formed a "Samyukta Kisan Morcha" to press the central government to scrap the three farm laws. Haryana has put up road barricades to seal its borders with Punjab for the next two days, to stop the farmers from their onwards march to Delhi.
Earlier, Haryana Police used cranes to put boulders on roads and restricted the movement of traffic on various stretches to thwart the march. The Ambala-Delhi highway in Haryana’s Kurukshetra district was witness to dramatic scenes as police used water cannons on agitating farmers. The Haryana Police has issued a travel advisory, asking commuters to avoid certain national highways along the state border with Punjab and Delhi for the next three days.
