Farmers Protest LIVE: Farmers Clash with Authorities as Delhi Chalo Protest Begins, Break Barricades
The authorities are on high alert, with Delhi and Haryana deploying extra security forces to monitor the protest's progress.
Farmers Protest March Latest News Today: Farmers participating in the "Delhi Chalo" protest march made significant progress towards the national capital, despite clashes with authorities. The protest, which aims to demand legal assurances for Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for crops, saw farmers breaking through barricades set up by the police at the Shambhu border in Haryana. In a dramatic move, the farmers threw the barricades into the Ghaggar river as they continued their march towards Delhi.
The protest is being led by over 200 farmers' unions, including the All India Kisan Sabha and other major agricultural groups, who are seeking reforms to secure better pricing for their produce. As tensions rose at the Shambhu border, Haryana Police responded with tear gas, attempting to control the protesters. Several farmers were detained during the incident, and the situation remains tense as more farmers join the march.
The protesters are moving along different routes, including the Ambala-Shambhu and Khanauri-Jind borders, as they push forward with their demand. The authorities are on high alert, with Delhi and Haryana deploying extra security forces to monitor the protest's progress.
Farmer leaders, including Sarwan Singh Pandher, have criticized the heavy security measures and the authorities' attempts to block the march. As the situation evolves, farmers have vowed to continue their protests until their demands for MSP guarantees are met. This marks the latest chapter in a growing movement that has previously brought hundreds of thousands of farmers to the capital in opposition to government policies on agriculture​.
