Days after the lathi charge and alleged use of force to disperse protesting farmers from NH-44 near Kurukshetra, the Kisan Mahapanchayat on Monday announced a complete blockade of the national highway.

Reportedly, the farmers have already left for a huge protest at National Highway 44.

The call came after farmers alleged that police used lathis and water canons in protest to disperse.

The farmers blocked the crucial Delhi-Chandigarh national highway in front of the Shaheed Udham Singh memorial for more than six hours last week over demands for government procurement of sunflower seeds at the minimum support price (MSP).
