Farmers in Haryana block highway in protest against farm laws
The Hindu
Agitating farmers on Saturday held blockades at several points on the 135-km-long Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway, which connects five districts of Haryana, in response to a call from farmer unions to protest against the farm laws. The protests led to traffic snarls and diversions at many points.
In the wake of a call from Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a joint front of farmer unions, to hold blockades on the highway for five hours, the protesting farmers assembled at several points along the road around 11 a.m. and blocked it. The blockades were at two points each in Sonipat and Jhajjar, as per initial reports.
