The farmer says the customised tractor was built to protect himself during clashes with rival farmers over a water-sharing dispute between the Punjab and Haryana states.

Sonipat: Punjab and Haryana have been locked in a bitter war of words over sharing of river waters for decades. Farmers from both sides have clashed often over the dispute.

In this situation, a farmer in Haryana's Sonipat has made a bullet-proof tractor with CCTV to protect himself. The tractor also has AC, GPS and a bullet-proof windshield.
