Tear gas shells fired on farmers in Shambhu, Centre invites farmers for fresh talks

New Delhi: After refusing to accept the proposal of the central government, the farmers began to march to Delhi at 11 am on Wednesday.

For this purpose, heavy machinery such as hydraulic cranes, JCBs, and bulletproof proclain has been brought to the Shambhu border. Simultaneously, the Punjab Haryana High Court has issued an order to halt the farmers’ march. Haryana Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda has said that the government is prepared for the fifth round of talks with farmers.

Under the banner of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, farmers from Panipat departed in private vehicles on Tuesday morning. Led by farmer leader Harendra Rana and other leaders, the farmers departed in ten vehicles.

Farmers arrived from various locations in private vehicles, with police deployed at Kisan Bhawan. DSP headquarters Dharambir Kharb monitored the vehicles along with the police force. The farmers warned that they would dismantle all barricades if the police attempted to impede them. The intelligence department remained vigilant about the farmers’ march, with the Bharatiya Kisan Union stepping forward to assist the farmers of Punjab. The police initiated firing tear gas shells at the farmers.

The Haryana government has once again approached the High Court regarding the farmer movement. A significant number of modified tractors and trolleys have been requested not to assemble at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders.

The Haryana government has said that this poses a significant threat to law and order, urging the Punjab government to intervene and prevent the gathering. However, the High Court has declined to immediately address the matter.
