Protesting farmers on Friday suspended their foot march to Delhi for the day after a few of them suffered injuries due to teargas shells lobbed by security personnel, according to a Punjab farmer leader. “We have called back the ‘jatha’ for today in view of the injuries suffered by a few farmers,” Sarwan Singh Pandher said here.

The farmer leader claimed that five to six protesting farmers were injured due to the teargas shelling by Haryana security personnel. The two forums of the farmer bodies, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, will decide the next course of action after a meeting, he added.
