Eight persons were injured in the violence.
Upon receiving information about the clash, the police of both states rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control.
A dispute often arises between the farmers of UP and Haryana over where the boundary between the two state lies when the Yamuna changes its course from time to time, the police said.
