They were raising slogans against the ordinances — Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance, Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Ordinance, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Ordinance.

On Thursday also, the Bharatiya Kisan Union and other farmer organisations in Haryana had blocked the national highway at Pipli in Kurukshetra district in protest against the ordinances, which they claimed were “anti-farmers”.

The Pipli Chowk on the National Highway 22 had remained tense as the agitating farmers also blocked the road for over four hours, causing hardship to thousands of commuters who used village link roads to bypass Pipli.
