TEAR gas was used against farmers and some were detained amid clashes with Indian police over barricades blocking the way to New Delhi today.

The farmers are demanding guaranteed crop prices in a repeat of protests in 2021, when they camped on the capital’s outskirts for more than a year.

Police dropped tear gas canisters on the protesting farmers from a drone at one of the border points in northern Haryana state that leads to New Delhi, where tens of thousands of farmers are headed on tractors and trucks.
