Farmers' March to Delhi Leads to Shambhu Border Closure and Traffic Disruptions
Farmers from Punjab marched towards Delhi to participate in a Mahapanchayat protesting the proposed India-US trade agreement, leading to the sealing of the Shambhu border by Haryana authorities. The closure caused significant traffic disruptions and stranded commuters. Farmer leaders accused Haryana and Punjab governments of obstructing their peaceful march, while authorities cited security concerns. After handing over a memorandum demanding the release of detained protest leaders and a meeting with the Union Agriculture Minister, some farmers began retreating, though many remained at the border.
