But after an hour when a sizable number of farmers gathered near the barricades at the Shambhu border, police again hurled tear gas shells to disperse the protesters, they said.

Police also fire tear gas shells after some of the protesters entered a nearby फील्ड। A drone was also used to drop the tear gas shells and keep an eye on the protesters.

Farmers were seen carrying wet jute bags to shield themselves from the effect of the smoke released from teargas shells.
