SHAMBHU: Farmer leader from Punjab Sarwan Singh Pandher told reporters that the two forums have decided "to call back our 'jatha'."

"Both the forums have decided to call back the jatha for today and the next course of action will be taken after a meeting," farmer leader Manjit Singh Rai said. Haryana security personnel fired tear gas shells and used a water cannon to disperse the protesting farmers under the banner of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha from heading towards Delhi at the Shambhu border point on Saturday.
