Protesting farmers are hurling stones to counter police-controlled drones carrying tear gas at the Punjab-Haryana border.

Footage captured on February 14 shows thousands of farmers at the Shambhu border. Not only are they using stones, the protesting crowd are flying kites to combat the drones.

The farmers are attempting to make their way to Delhi to demand assured pricing for their crops.

Farmers who have been protesting for the increase of the minimum price of their crops, hurled stones at drones carrying tear gas, in northern India's Punjab and Haryana.

This incident happened near the Shambhu border in the Punjab-Haryana border on February 14.

Visuals showed the farmers hurling stones at the drones which were carrying tear gas to tackle the protest by the farmers. Not just this but the farmers also flew kites to damage the drones' rotors. Farmers also gathered in large numbers and were on tractors, roaming and shouting slogans in the area. This was also the occasion of the 'Basant Panchami' where people of all ages fly kites to welcome the arrival of spring.

Shaleen, the Deputy Commissioner in Ambala however, has said that the kites weren't flown to take down the drones besides ordering action against the farmers who reportedly used banned Chinese strings in these kites. Also, a meeting is set to be held between the senior farmer leaders and union government ministers to discuss these issues. The farmers have been protesting for a higher MSP for their produce besides also seeking a monthly pension of Rs 10,000 ( USD 124.46) per month for those above 60 years of age, among other things.
