Tear Gas, Detentions as Farmers Resume 'Delhi Chalo' Protest Latest news: The 'Delhi Chalo' movement resumed today, with hundreds of farmers gathering at the Shambhu border to push for long-pending demands, including a fair Minimum Support Price (MSP). Tensions escalated as police fired tear gas shells to disperse the protesters, detaining several participants.

The Delhi police, citing security concerns, had fortified the border with barricades and embedded nails. Farmer representative Sarwan Singh Pandher condemned the authorities' actions. "Farmers are being treated with brutality despite our peaceful approach. Tomorrow, a group of 101 will continue the march to Delhi, abiding by all regulations," he assured.

The protests, led by Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and Samyukta Kisan Morcha, have now reached 300 days without resolution. Protesters are demanding action on the Supreme Court-appointed committee's recommendations regarding MSP, free electricity, and fair access to agricultural markets.

Ayyakannu, a representative of the United Farmers Front from Tamil Nadu, criticized the central government's inaction, noting stark income disparities over decades. "In 1970, teachers and sugarcane farmers earned comparable incomes. Today, the gap is unacceptably wide, and MSP remains inadequate," he said.

Farmers across Tamil Nadu are set to protest on December 16 before joining the Delhi agitation. The movement's leaders reiterated their resolve, warning of intensified demonstrations if their demands remain unmet.
