Farmers Protest India-US Trade Deal at Shambhu Border

Farmers Protest India-US Trade Deal at Shambhu Border

Farmers from Punjab and Haryana are protesting at the Shambhu border against a proposed India-US trade deal.

They believe the deal will allow cheaper agricultural imports, which could hurt their incomes and the local farming industry.

The Haryana Police have set up barricades to stop the farmers from reaching Delhi, where a big meeting called Kisan Mahapanchayat is happening.

The farmers want the government to cancel the trade deal to protect their interests.

They say the deal will affect not just farmers but also workers, small traders, and small industries.

The police say they are just maintaining order, but the farmers feel they are being unfairly stopped.
