Amid clashes with police at the Punjab-Haryana border, farmers have decided to postpone their 'Delhi Chalo' march for two days. Sarwan Singh Pandher, head of the Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, announced the decision on Wednesday, stating that a further course of action will be decided on February 23.

Addressing the media, Pandher condemned the actions of the Haryana Police, highlighting injuries and missing farmers. He emphasized the need for dialogue but expressed difficulty due to the current environment. The decision aims to review the situation, particularly the incident at Khanauri where a young farmer lost his life.

Baldev Singh Sirsa identified the deceased farmer as Subhkaran Singh, hailing from Punjab's Bathinda district. Medical superintendent HS Rekhi confirmed injuries among those brought to Patiala-based Rajindra Hospital from Khanauri.

The pause in the agitation aims to assess the circumstances and plan the next steps. Meanwhile, Haryana Police spokesperson Manisha Chaudhary urged protesters to maintain peace, highlighting the risks of escalating violence.

Political figures including Punjab Chief Minister and Delhi Chief Minister expressed grief over the loss of life and criticized the government's handling of the situation. Rahul Gandhi condemned the incident, warning of accountability in history.

Thousands of farmers will remain stationed at the border points during the hiatus, pressing for their demands, including a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) and farm debt waiver.

As the nation watches, the fate of the 'Delhi Chalo' march hangs in the balance, awaiting further developments and decisions from the farming community.
