After continuous failed talks with the government, farmers are now ready to march in Delhi. Farmers demanding legal guarantee on MSP (Minimum Support Price) will again march to Delhi from today, Wednesday, as the deadline for talks with the government has expired. Farmer organizations made this announcement on Monday after talks with the government failed.
Not only Haryana but Delhi's borders have also been converted into cantonments.
At present, thousands of farmers are standing at the Shambhu border between Punjab and Haryana, about 200 kilometers from Delhi, and today they will leave for Delhi with a tractor-trolley. However, the administration is fully prepared to stop them. Not only Haryana but the boundaries of the cantonments of Delhi have also changed. Delhi Police is keeping vigil at every nook and corner regarding the farmers' movement. Union Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda has appealed to the farmers for peace amid the farmers' march towards Delhi on Wednesday.
At present the march has been stopped at the Haryana-Punjab border.
Thousands of farmers of Punjab had started Delhi Chalo March on 13 February. At present the march has been stopped at the Haryana-Punjab border. The protesting farmers are currently standing at the Shambhu Border and Khanauri Border between Punjab and Haryana after the 'Dilli Chalo' march was stopped by the police and security forces. The government estimates that there are about 14 thousand farmers on the border.
Protesting farmers clash with police forces on the borders
When farmers began their march towards Delhi on February 13, protesting farmers clashed with police forces at various Punjab-Haryana borders. Farmer leaders participating in the 'Delhi Chalo' movement on Monday rejected the Centre's proposal to procure pulses, maize and cotton at minimum support price (MSP) through government agencies for five years. The protesting farmers said this was not in the interest of the farmers and announced to march to the national capital on Wednesday.
