Farmers affiliated with the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha will resume their ‘Delhi Chalo’ march on Sunday. A 101-member delegation is set to begin their protest at noon from the Shambhu border, located between Haryana and Punjab. This move comes after clashes erupted at the same border two days ago, where police obstructed their advance toward the national capital.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher report that 16 farmers injure during the recent altercations with the police. He further criticized the government for failing to address their grievances, fueling frustrations within the farming community.

In response to the protest’s escalation, security forces have significantly tightened measures at the Shambhu border. Additional barricades install, and Haryana Police has urged media personnel to keep a safe distance from the protest sites. The Ambala administration has suspended internet services until December 9 and imposed a ban on gatherings of more than five people as a precautionary measure.
The protesting farmers have issued a list of demands, including a legal guarantee for the Minimum Support Price (MSP), debt waivers, and pensions for both farmers and agricultural laborers. They are also voicing strong opposition to any increase in electricity tariffs. Furthermore, they seek justice for the victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence and call for the reinstatement of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013. Additionally, the farmers are demanding compensation for families of those who lost their lives during the 2020-21 farmers’ agitation.
Despite the intensified security measures and restrictions, farmers remain steadfast in their determination to march to Delhi and press for their demands. This move highlights the ongoing tensions between the farming community and the government, signaling that the dispute is far from resolved.
