Chandigarh, December 7: Punjab farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher announced on Saturday that they have yet to receive any communication from the central government regarding talks to resolve their issues. He confirmed that 101 farmers will resume their march towards Delhi on December 8.
The previous day, protesting farmers had paused their march towards the national capital after several of them were injured by tear gas fired by security forces who had blocked their path at the Punjab-Haryana border. The farmers are demanding various reforms, including a legal guarantee for the Minimum Support Price (MSP).
Speaking to the media at Shambhu, located on the Punjab-Haryana border, Pandher stated that 16 farmers were injured in the clash, and one of them lost their hearing due to the tear gas shelling by Haryana's security personnel.
