Thousands of farmers were allowed to enter Delhi on Friday after clashes with the police at the Haryana border this morning. The farmers were granted permission to hold peaceful protest as they oppose the three central farm laws. Farmers fear that the new laws would lead to the dismantling of the minimum support price system, leaving them at the mercy of big corporates.

Earlier in the morning, the farmers faced tear gas and water cannons at the Singhu and Tikri borders when they clashed with the police as they marched towards the national Capital as part of their 'Delhi Chalo' protest.

Protests took an ugly turn in Rohtak this morning after a 45 year old farmer, part of the protest movement died in a road accident. Two farmers were also injured in the accident after a loaded trolley and a farmer's tractor collided.

The protesting farmers are now demanding 20 lakh compensation from the Haryana government for the kin. Meanwhile Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday sought to assure the agitating farmers that the central government is always ready for talks with them and a solution can come out through the dialogue.
