When farmers attempt to breach barricades, police respond with water cannons, rubber bullets, batons, and tear gas shells.
At the borders of Shambhu and Khanauri, farmers attempted to breach barricades erected by the Haryana Police to prevent them from reaching the capital, but were met with tear gas shells and baton charges. At the border with Shambhu, police also dropped tear gas shells using drones.
Multiple levels of barricading had already been erected by Haryana to fortify the Shambhu border. As waves of farmers raced to the border in an effort to breach the barricades, police fired tear gas shells at the demonstrators, who then resorted to throwing stones.
The demonstrators started making their way to the three borders—Dabwali, Shambhu, and Jind-Khanuari—between 12 noon and 2 pm on tractors from Fatehgarh Sahib and other locations after Monday night’s negotiations with the Centre broke down in impasse.

They began dismantling the barricading at the Shambhu border, which put them in conflict with the security personnel.
With the use of high-house powered tractors, the farmers were able to remove the cement moulders, the first layer of barricading, and then the barbed wire and iron barricading. However, when they approached, police began dispersing the farmers with tear gas shells and water cannons.
At Khanauri, a baton charge
The situation was similar along the boundary of Khanauri-Datta Singhwala in Jind. When Punjabi farmers attempted to breach the barriers, Haryana police deployed lathi-charges, and the infuriated farmers retaliated with lathis as well, injuring a number of people, including members of the paramilitary forces.
More than a hundred tractor-trolleys are positioned on the Punjab side close to the Khanauri border, according to BKU (Sidhupur) leader Kaka Singh Kotda.
According to Jind SP Sumit Kumar, ten police officers were hurt during the altercations. Farmers from Punjab can’t be stopped by the police from entering Haryana. Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Maha Sangaha’s chief in Haryana, Akshay Narwal, claimed that the BJP administration is afraid of farmers.
Farmers from Punjab are allowed to go into Haryana with or without tractors, according to Sibash Kabiraj, IGP, Ambala Range.
Farmers from Punjab are allowed to enter Haryana, but if they do so on tractors, it will cause issues for the state’s residents. They are able to go by foot, rail, or bus. We won’t let them in if they arrive on tractors,” he said.
At the border with Dabwali, everything was mainly calm.
Almost 400 farmers from Sirsa reportedly crossed over to the other side when the police forbade Punjabi farmers from entering Haryana.
