NEW DELHI & CHANDIGARH, Feb. 11, 2024

Ahead of a proposed Delhi Chalo March by farmer unions on Tuesday, authorities in Haryana and Delhi fortified borders with neighbouring states at many places by putting up concrete blocks, road spike barriers and barbed wires and deploying thousands of police personnel, besides imposing prohibitory orders.
While the Centre has invited farmer unions for another meeting to discuss their demands on February 12, 2024, the move to block borders to prevent the protesters from entering National Capital drew flak from Opposition parties and farmer groups today.
Authorities, however, defended the restrictions, citing the 2020 agitation against the now-repealed three farm laws that had stretched to over a year.
