‘Delhi Chalo’: Police take on farmers with tear gas; capital turns fortress

Shambhu border near Ambala resembled a battlefield as Haryana Police hurled multiple rounds of tear gas shells, including from drones, to stop an estimated 10,000 farmers from Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh from marching to Delhi to seek the enactment of a law on minimum support price. In a replay of the 2020/21 protests, farmers used tractors to remove the cemented blocks used by the Haryana Police for barricading the Ghaggar River bridge.
