Farmers’ protest: Protesters prepare to cross the Shambhu border with gas masks, JCBs and bulldozers

Thousands of farmers from Punjab will resume their ‘Delhi Chalo’ march today, to press for their demand of MSP support for all crops. The protesting farmers, who are currently camping at the Haryana-Punjab Shambhu border, announced resumption of the agitation on Tuesday after the fourth round of talks with the central government failed. The march is expected to affect life in Delhi and its surrounding areas because security checkpoints set by the authorities to stop the protesting farmers might trigger traffic chaos.

According to farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, farmers would continue to live in peace and don’t want to cause trouble. Leader of the farmers, Sarwan Singh Pandher, stated that the protest march should be let to continue peacefully to Delhi. Meanwhile, a few farmers in Manesar were arrested today by the Haryana police.
