The 'Delhi Chalo' farmers' protest, now in its 13th day, has intensified at the Punjab-Haryana borders, particularly at Shambhu and Khanauri, leading to the deaths of Shubhkaran Singh and Darshan Singh, the latter aged 62, among others, totaling five fatalities. Clashes at the Khanauri border resulted in one farmer's death from a bullet wound and injuries to about 12 police personnel. Farmer leaders, including those from SKM and SKM (non-political), have demanded legal action, specifically the registration of a case under section 302 IPC against those responsible for the deaths. In response to the violence, thousands gathered at the Khanauri border for a 'Black Friday' demonstration, and plans were made for a candle march and mourning meetings to honor the deceased. The government, through Union Ministers Parshottam Rupala and Arjun Munda, has shown a willingness to engage in dialogue. Farmer leaders have decided to pause the march until February 29, when they will discuss the next steps, including a convention on WTO issues. A solidarity march was held at the Shambhu border, and Pritpal Singh, injured during the protests, was taken to PGIMER, Chandigarh. Authorities have initiated the partial reopening of the Singhu (Delhi-Haryana) border.
