Farmers Protest Live

Farmer leaders on Friday announced that the future course of action regarding their 'Delhi Chalo' march will be decided on February 29.

A police officer was injured Friday in a pitched battle between protesting farmers - trying to march to join others on the Punjab-Haryana border - and cops in Khedi Chwpata in Hisar district.

Thousands of farmers riding tractors prepared to resume their push towards New Delhi on Wednesday after failing to reach a deal with the government on their demands for higher crop prices.

Farmers Protests: The Shambhu border, which separates Haryana and Punjab, has become Ground Zero for the ongoing farmers' protest. Farmer leaders have been strategically positioned in a buffer zone to avoid potential clashes with the police.

Protesting farmers will resume their march to Delhi today from two points on the Punjab-Haryana border after the failure of four rounds of talks with the Centre over a legal guarantee on minimum support price (MSP) for crops.

Tear gas shells were fired this morning at the Punjab-Haryana border, where thousands of farmers have gathered to march on a heavily fortified Delhi after rejecting the government's offer of a five-year MSP contract. A fifth round of talks is likely.

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha - an umbrella organisation of farmer unions not directly linked to those leading this round of protests - has rejected a five-year contract to buy three types of pulses, maize, and cotton at the old MSP.

The deadlock between the government and protesting farmers rolled into a second week Monday, with no definite breakthrough after four rounds of talks but signs of an accord on the MSP issue on the horizon.

After the fourth round of talks, General Secretary of Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee Sarvan Singh Pandher asserted that the farmers will continue to move forward with the 'Delhi Chalo' march on February 21.

The leaders of protesting farmer unions and Centre held marathon talks last night with Union minister Arjun Munda terming the discussion as "positive".

Amid the ongoing standoff between protesting farmers and security personnel at the Punjab-Haryana border, a panel of three Union ministers is set to engage in another round of talks with farmer leaders in Chandigarh today.

NDTV understands Delhi Police have deployed LRADs, or Long Range Acoustic Devices, or crowd-control sound cannons, which function as uni-directional (or one-directional), non-lethal, sonic weapons to stop protesting farmers.

As the 'Delhi Chalo' protest by farmers entered its second day, an unconventional strategy emerged on the ground as protesting farmers flew kites to counter drones employed by the government to drop tear gas canisters on them.

The farmers protesting over a list of demands will soon resume their march towards Delhi after a night halt .
