The protesting farmers say the laws will weaken the minimum support price (MSP) system and leave them at the mercy of big corporates.
Intensifying their protest against the three farm laws, farmers blocked the Kundli–Manesar–Palwal expressway at some places in Haryana on Saturday.
The blockade started at 8 am and would last 24 hours.
