Haryana has recently made headlines due to ongoing farmer protests in northern India, where farmers are demanding guaranteed crop prices. These protests have led to clashes with police and roadblocks as farmers attempt to reach the capital.
Haryana is a state in northern India, established on November 1, 1966, after being carved out of the former state of East Punjab. It is the 22nd largest state in India and is known for its agricultural production, particularly in wheat and rice. The state has a rich cultural heritage and is home to various historical sites, including Kurukshetra, a place of religious and historical significance in Hindu mythology. Haryana has a population of over 25 million people and is governed by a Chief Minister and a Governor appointed by the President of India.
