Leaders from the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) will hold a meeting in Chandigarh on Thursday to discuss the situation at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana. Thousands of protesting farmers have camped on the said borders since February 13, after they were stopped from entering the national capital under the 'Delhi Chalo' march announced by various farmer organisations. 

Farmer leaders put the march on hold for two days on Wednesday after a protester was killed and about 12 police personnel were injured in clashes at Khanauri. The police fired tear-gas shells at the two border points multiple times to disperse the protesting farmers when they tried to move towards the barricades, which are installed to prevent the protestors entry in Delhi.
