Gurugram, Jan 3 : Three days after a group of farmers protesting against the new farm laws broke through barricades at the Harayana-Rajasthan border and entered Rewari district in Haryana, a group of agitating farmers probably from Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan made another attempt to move towards the national Capital on Sunday evening.
This led to a clash with police near Sanghwadi village in Rewari, around 17 km away from Gurugram.
The Haryana Police attempted to stop them using water cannons and tear gas even as their leaders urged them not go towards the national capital.
According to police, “around 50 tractors” had tried break through the barricades around 6.30 p.m. but were stopped.
“We did not resort to any lathicharge to stop them from breaking through, but we had to use water cannons and tear gas shells to stop them,” the police said.
However, it is expected that the farmer’s may enter Gurugram in next few days.
