Haryana farmers demanding MSP on sunflower seeds block Delhi-Amritsar highway

Hundreds of farmers in Haryana's Kurukshetra on Tuesday blocked the Delhi-Amritsar highway to protest after the Haryana government refused to buy sunflower seeds at the minimum support price (MSP). The protesting farmers are also protesting against the government's decision to induct the crop under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana. The farmers said the government's decision will cost them around Rs. 10,000-12,000 per acre.
