Haryana police fired teargas shells in a clash with protesting farmers in Hisar on Friday, in a bid to prevent them from marching towards Khanauri, on Haryana’s border with Punjab.
The police claimed that three policemen sustained serious injuries in the clash, while 21 other policemen and officers also suffered minor injuries. Local residents claimed that some farmers also sustained injuries in the clash, which the police denied.
The violence took place amid demonstrations by various farmer unions across the country against the police action on the agitating farmers in Punjab which led to the death of a youth on Wednesday.
