Now the Amritsar-Ambala-Delhi National Highway will be opened on Thursday. However, the barricading put up on the Shambhu and Khanauri border has not been removed yet.

Farmers took to the streets at different places in the state in protest against the police action. All farmer leaders, including the opposition, have opposed this action of the police.

 

Farmers' protest removed from Shambhu border, but the movement will continue: Tejveer Singh.

Farmer leader Tejveer Singh said that the police have not been successful in arresting all the farmer leaders and further strategy will be announced soon. He alleged that this action has been taken by the Punjab government at the behest of the central government.

 

Haryana administration continues to remove barricades.

The Haryana administration has started the process of removing the barricades on the Shambhu border. These barricades, which were earlier installed for security reasons, are now being gradually removed.
