Farmers Gear Up for 'Delhi Chalo' Movement as High Court Orders Barricade Removal

Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal has announced that farmers will march to Delhi once the barricades at Shambhu border are lifted, following a High Court order. The Haryana government is challenging this decision in the Supreme Court. Farmers demand legal guarantees for MSP for crops and plan further protests and gatherings.

Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal stated on Tuesday that farmers will head to Delhi once the national highway, barricaded at the Shambhu border near Ambala, Haryana, is opened.

This announcement follows the Punjab and Haryana High Court's order to open the barricades on an 'experimental basis.' Farmers, camping at the border since February 13, are set to continue their protests for legal guarantees on minimum support price (MSP) for crops.

The Haryana government has appealed the High Court's decision in the Supreme Court, citing law and order concerns. Farmer leaders also plan to 'gherao' the Ambala SP's office and hold a convention in Delhi to further their demands.
