Shambhu, Feb 14: Farmers' protest at the Shambhu border continued for the second day on Wednesday as police reportedly lobbed tear gas shells at them.
Farmer leaders will hold a meeting soon and decide their course of action.
Farmers have been agitating around 400 metres away from the barrier.
Many farmers claim that the tear gas firing from Haryana continued till late Tuesday night. However, this could not be verified.
As many as 200 tractor trolleys have joined the protest on Wednesday morning and the convoy of tractor trolleys parked alongside the highway stretch is now over 4 km long.
Farmers gathered at the spot say they will not budge till they cross into Haryana and reach Delhi.
Makeshift hospitals have been started at the site even as the Punjab government has alerted all nearby government hospitals and community health centres. Health Minister Balbir Singh will visit the injured farmers in Rajpura.
Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring reached the Rajpura hospital and called up Rahul Gandhi, who spoke to the injured farmers on the phone and assured them support.
