The Haryana government had set up barricades at the Ambala-New Delhi national highway in February when the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha had announced their decision to move towards Delhi in support of various demands, including a legal guarantee of MSP for crops.
The directions came on a petition filed against the sealing of border. Advocate General Deepak Sabharwal said the court has directed the Haryana government to remove barricading within seven days.
