Farmers from Punjab and Haryana reinitiated their 'Delhi Chalo' march on the fifth day following a nationwide 'Bharat Bandh.' Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) plans to escalate their agitation, holding meetings in Punjab and Delhi to strategize. The recent talks on February 15 failed to break the deadlock as farmers persist in demanding a Minimum Support Price (MSP) guarantee. Haryana Police used tear gas during Friday's 'Bharat Bandh,' resulting in clashes. Amid the protest, a police sub-inspector, Hira Lal, posted at the Shambhu border, tragically passed away. The SKM accuses the government of secret talks and vows to intensify the agitation.
