Over Dozen Farm Leaders Detained In Mohali As Police Clean Up Shambhu Border

Several farmer leaders including Sarwan Singh Pandher and Jagjit Singh Dallewal were detained by the Punjab Police in Mohali on Wednesday while they were headed to Shambhu and Khanauri protest sites.

The farmers were detained in Mohali after they clashed with the Punjab Police as they were heading for the Shambhu border protest site. The group of farmers had a meeting with a central delegation, including Union Agriculature Minister, after which they clashed with security personnel while they were heading to the Khanauri and Shambhu border points, where the protesting farmers have been camping since February 13 last year.

The Punjab Police also demolished the tents erected by farmers at the Punjab-Haryana border, where they were sitting on a protest over various demands.
