Haryana Seals Khanauri Border Ahead of Farmers' March to Delhi Against Trade Deal
Authorities at the Punjab-Haryana Khanauri border have sealed the crossing with multiple layers of barricades and heightened security to prevent a farmers' march to Delhi protesting the India-US trade deal. The march, led by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, began on August 16 from Data Singhwala and is scheduled to reach Jantar Mantar on August 29. Farmers demand legal guarantees for MSP and oppose free-trade agreements. Police remain on high alert amid tensions, with previous clashes at the border underscoring the sensitive situation.
