Farmers blocked the national highway in Pipli in Haryana's Kurukshetra district for a second day on Tuesday (June 13) over the MSP for sunflower seeds, with BKU leader Rakesh Tikait asking the State government to accept the demand or send farmers to jail.
Farmer leaders at the protest site said that several rounds of talks have been held with the district administration since Monday, but so far they have not yielded any outcome.
The protesting farmers have blocked the National Highway-44 near Pipli, which connects Delhi with Chandigarh, and some other routes since Monday afternoon after holding a mahapanchayat on the issue.
