The farmers have asserted a test of patience won't deter them from continuing their demonstration until the demands are met.
Thousands of farmers marching towards Delhi say they are prepared for the long haul, carrying enough ration and diesel to last for months, as the borders have been sealed to prevent them from entering the national capital. The farmers are protesting over a series of demands, including a minimum support price (MSP) for their crops - a follow-up to their 2020 protest in which they had camped at the border points for 13 months.
Farmers say a test of patience won't deter them from continuing their demonstration until their demands are met.
"From a needle to hammer, we have everything we need in our trolleys, including tools to break stones. We left our village with six months' ration with us. We have enough diesel, even for our brothers from Haryana," Harbhajan Singh, a farmer from Punjab's Gurdaspur, headed to Delhi on his tractor, pulling two trollies loaded with supplies, told NDTV.
