Security beefed up at Shambhu border as farmers to resume march to Delhi tomorrow

Farmers under the banner of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha will resume their march towards Delhi tomorrow (December 8). A delegation of 101 farmers will begin their march from Shambhu border towards the national capital at 12 pm.

Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said that 16 farmers were injured in recent clashes, with one losing his hearing.

Sarwan Singh Pandher claimed that farmers have received no communication from the government. "This protest has exposed PM Modi's true face," said Pandher, adding that while tractors and trolleys are no longer being used, they continue to face



restrictions.

Pandher claimed that farmers are not being compensated for the losses incurred from crops. "They are announcing MSP, but the whole situation is confusing and lacks clarity," said Pandher.

Security measures are tightened at the Delhi-Haryana Shambhu border, where farmers are protesting over various demands. Earlier, on February 13 and February 21, farmers attempted to march to Delhi but were stopped by security forces at the border.

Farmers heading to Delhi on Friday halted their march after several of them were injured when security forces used tear gas to block them at the Punjab-Haryana border.
