Chandigarh : The Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed the Haryana government to reopen the Shambhu border within a week, following a five-month closure due to ongoing farmers’ protests. The court emphasized the need for both states to restore the border to its original state and maintain law and order. The decision came during a hearing of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) plea filed by Uday Pratap Singh, which sought to halt obstructive actions against the farmers’ ‘Dilli Chalo’ protest. The protests, led by the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and Samyukta Kisan Morcha, demand a law for minimum support price for crops and loan waivers. The high court previously ordered a judicial probe into the death of farmer Shubhkaran Singh during the protests.
