Hearing on the petition against the order of the High Court
Let us tell you that the petition of the Haryana government challenging the order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court was heard in the Supreme Court. In the order, the High Court asked the government to remove the barricades erected at the Shambhu border near Ambala within a week, where protesting farmers have been camping since February 13. The Haryana government had blocked the Ambala-New Delhi National Highway in February after farmers marched to Delhi in support of their demands including a legal guarantee of minimum support price (MSP), 'Samyukta Kisan Morcha' (non-political) and 'Kisan Mazdoor Morcha' (farmers' workers' front) for their produce.
