Several trains affected in Punjab as farmers squat on tracks

Farmers squatted on the tracks at the Shambhu railway station, hampering the movement of at least 35 trains. The farmers have kept the national highway at the interstate border blocked near Shambhu to mark protest over the demands, including a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price (MSP) by the Centre, since February 13. As the protesters were moving ahead to block the railway tracks, the police tried to stop them, which led to a scuffle between them.
