Chandigarh: Farmers protesting over MSP, loan limits and other pending demands clashed with police at the Mohali border on Friday while attempting to march towards the Punjab Raj Bhavan.<\/p>\n
In view of the protest, traffic was diverted at two major border points connecting Chandigarh and Mohali.<\/p>\n

As the protesters continued advancing, police also deployed water cannons to push them back.<\/p>\n
Police officials said the situation was being closely monitored and senior officers, including the SSP, were present at the spot to oversee security arrangements.<\/p>\n
