Sarvan Singh Pandher, coordinator of the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, and Jagjit Singh Dallewal, president of Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta Sidhupur), said they asked the protesters at the Shambhu borderwhether they should press on towards Delhi or return to the table for talks."Our people told us that we should explore a solution through talks," said Dallewal.
Earlier in the day, stray groups of protesters who tried to surge ahead at Shambhu and Khanauri - the two border points between Haryana and Punjab - were beaten back by hails of rubber pellets, teargas and water, which left more than 40 farmers injured. At least a dozen of them were evacuated to the government hospital in Patiala, where Health Minister Balbir Singh called on them and said the Punjab government would offer free treatment to all those injured during the protest.
