Farmers in Haryana's Kurukshetra blocked the Jammu-Delhi National Highway after a mahapanchayat on Monday to escalate their protest against the state government after it refused to buy sunflower seeds at the minimum support price (MSP). They said they were forced to sell their produce to private players at Rs. 4,000 per quintal against the MSP of Rs. 6,400 per quintal.
