8 Farmers Injured In Tear Gas Shelling, Protest March Over MSP Halted
Farmers on a 'Dilli chalo' march Friday afternoon - to press home a list of nearly five-year-old demands, including a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Prices, or MSP - were forced to call a temporary halt after tear gas shells were fired by police blocking their path to the national capital.
Eight people were injured, and two others seriously wounded, farmers said, after the clash that took place on National Highway 44, near Shambhu on the Punjab-Haryana border.
