Meanwhile, in its communication to the Punjab government, the MHA said, it was estimated that nearly 14,000 people have gathered along the Punjab-Haryana border with 1,200 tractor-trolleys, 300 cars, 10 mini-buses as well as small vehicles. The Ministry conveyed its strong objections to the Punjab government for allowing this, the sources said.The MHA also said that the deteriorating law-and-order situation in the state has been a matter of concern over the last few days and asked the government to take stringent action against lawbreakers, as many miscreants in the guise of farmers have been indulging in stone-pelting, mobilising heavy machinery along Punjab side of the Shambhu border with Haryana.Protesting farmers have been staying put at Shambhu and Khanauri points on Punjab’s border with Haryana after their ‘Delhi Chalo’ march to press the Centre for their various demands, including a legal guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) for crops. They have been stopped by security forces, which led to clashes last week.
