As hundreds of protesting farmers, mainly from Punjab, were stopped on Tuesday, February 13, at the Punjab-Haryana Shambhu border to prevent them from reaching Delhi, Haryana Police fired tear gas to disperse them.
The farmers have been seeking a law on minimum support price (MSP) as one of their key demands.
Heavy security has been deployed and blockades erected at all borders in Haryana to prevent the marching protesters from moving ahead.
