Police said some women were also involved in the stone pelting near Neemka village.
After getting information about the attack, another team of police reached the village and controlled the situation.
Police said one person has been arrested while 14 have been booked by name and 10 others as unidentified under Indian Penal Code sections including that dealing with attempt to murder.
A police team on Wednesday received information that some tractor drivers from Bicchor village were loading their trolleys with stone dust and taking them towards Hodal via Neemka.
Based on the information, the police team set up a barricade between Bicchor and Neemka villages. After some time, two tractor-trolleys were seen coming from village Nai. When they were stopped and checked by the police, both the trolleys were found overloaded, police said.
