Farmers in Punjab and Haryana on Saturday put up road blockades at national and state highways at most of the places as part of a nationwide "chakka jam" in protest against the three farm laws and demanded these be withdrawn, causing inconvenience to commuters. Meanwhile, farmers allowed emergency services, including ambulances to pass.

The nationwide call from 12 p.m. to 3 pm. was given by the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee. Farmers protesting against the laws have expressed apprehension that these laws would dilute the minimum support price system leaving them at the “mercy” of big corporate entities.
