Farmers’ protest: Haryana extends suspension of internet till Feb 20

The Haryana government on Monday further extended the ban on mobile internet and bulk SMS services in seven districts by a day till February 20 in the wake of the farmers’ ongoing ‘Delhi Chalo’ agitation.

These districts are Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa, the government said in an order.

The government had earlier extended the suspension on February 13, 15 and 17.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha are spearheading the ‘Delhi Chalo’ agitation to put pressure on the Centre for their demands, including a law on a minimum support price (MSP) for crops and loan waivers.
