Haryana police clash with farmers marching to Delhi, injuring six and sparking calls for dialogue.

Haryana police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse 101 protesting farmers attempting to march to Delhi from the Shambhu border. The farmers, who have been camping at the border since February, demand a legal guarantee for minimum support prices (MSP) for crops, loan waivers, and other agricultural reforms. Six farmers were injured during the clash. Farmer leaders criticized the government's inaction and called for dialogue, with some leaders fasting to draw attention to their cause. Mobile internet and SMS services were also suspended in Ambala district as a precaution.
