The farmers alleged that officials of district town and country planning department last month demolished more than half a dozen houses while declaring them illegal. Cases were also registered against people who protested the demolition.

They demanded adequate compensation to aggrieved villagers and unconditional withdrawal of cases against them.

Supporting the agitation, INLD MLA Rameshwar Dayal accused the Haryana government of being 'anti-farmer'.

Former Haryana Congress spokesman Ved Prakash Vidrohi too blamed the state government for the plight of farmers.
