The Haryana government has sealed the Khanauri inter‑state border point as farmers continue their foot march demanding better agricultural policies.
The Haryana government announced that it has sealed the Khanauri inter‑state border point as part of its response to the ongoing farmers’ foot march.
The move comes after farmers from several districts began a protest march to demand better support and policy changes. The march has drawn attention to the need for improved agricultural infrastructure and fair pricing.
Sealing the border point is expected to restrict the flow of goods and people across the state line, potentially easing pressure on local markets and allowing authorities to manage the protest more effectively.
Officials said the decision was taken after consultations with local police and transport departments, and they assured that essential services would remain operational.
