In February, the Haryana government had set up barricades on the Ambala-New Delhi national highway after farmer's unions announced that farmers would march to Delhi in support of various demands, including a legal guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) for crops.
Earlier in February this year, farmers' protest 2.0 began, however, they were stopped at the Haryana borders for several days.
