According to authorities, Wednesday's farmers' protest might cause traffic delays for commuters.

According to reports, farmers began congregating at the Singhu border between Delhi and Haryana early in the morning, causing a massive traffic bottleneck.


The Delhi Police warned that in addition to railway and metro stations, bus stops, and the borders of Tikri, Singhu, and Ghazipur, they would be under careful observation.

We've increased security at each of the three borders. We are not, however, closing any borders or routes; nonetheless, there will be vehicle inspections," an officer said.

According to Jimmy Chiram, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer), force is already present at the border between Delhi and Haryana. "We are keeping a tab on the situation in the wake of this call given by the farmers." "We had temporarily removed barriers for commuters at the Singhu and the Tikri borders," said another official. There is still a police and paramilitary presence, and they will maintain a close, 24-hour watch." Given that the farmers would also be using buses and trains for public transportation, more police and paramilitary personnel have been stationed at bus stops, metro stations, and railway stations.

Delhi has already enforced Section 144. No meeting or gathering will be permitted anywhere in this area," the officer said.

Sarai Kale Khan, Anand Vihar, and ISBT Kashmere Gate now have increased security.

The officer said, "No one will be allowed to break the law."

The two umbrella organizations leading the farmers' protest, the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), had issued a summons on Sunday for farmers all across the nation to go to Delhi on Wednesday.

Leaders of the farming community Sarwan Singh Pandher and Jagjit Singh Dallewal made the appeal.

A four-hour nationwide "rail roko" protest has also been called for by the two on March 10 in support of a number of their objectives, which include a legislative guarantee of a minimum support price for crops.

The leaders said that their battle would not end until their demands were fulfilled and that a farmer's sacrifice would not be in vain.

Following a fight between security forces and protesting farmers at Khanauri on the Punjab-Haryana border last month, a 21-year-old farmer was slain and a few others were injured.

Following the security forces' breakup of their 'Delhi Chalo' march, the protesting farmers set up camp at the border posts between Punjab and Haryana at Shambhu and Khanauri.

On February 13, they started their march, but the security forces halted them, which resulted in fighting at the borders.
