Clash between police and protesters in Haryana on Independence Day triggers unrest
The protest is linked to anger among farmers and khap organisations over the recent killing of dairy operator Jeevan Kundu.
On Independence Day in Haryana's Jind district, a clash erupted between police and protesters in Hansi. Farmers and khap representatives blocked a road at Gulkani village, preventing their route to Hansi to protest the Chief Minister's Independence Day program. The police intervened and blocked the road, deploying heavy security to maintain order.
This incident followed an earlier confrontation between police and protesters in Hansi. The protesters sought to disrupt the Chief Minister's Independence Day event in Hansi due to anger over the recent killing of dairy operator Jeevan Kundu, whose murder has sparked unrest among farmers and khap groups. Farmers' unions and khap panchayats had planned to protest the Chief Minister's Independence Day program in Hansi, demanding action against those involved in Kundu's killing.
The situation remained tense as the protest continued, with authorities working to prevent escalation and ensure the program's smooth execution.
