Delhi Police, sources said, is on high alert ahead of the farmers' march to the national capital
Determined to prevent a repeat of the January 26, 2021 incident, in which protesting farmers clashed with cops on the capital's streets, Delhi Police is leaving no stone unturned in its preparations to stop farmers from entering the city on Tuesday.
Delhi Police, sources said, is on high alert ahead of the farmers' march to the national capital. About 200 farmer organisations are part of the protest plan. They have several demands, including a law to guarantee Minimum Support Price and pension benefits.
The capital's cops, sources said, are blocking the city's borders with Haryana by placing massive containers. Cranes have been deployed to move these barriers if farmers try to cross into Delhi. In fact, Haryana too has brought in cement barriers to ensure that the protesting farmers cannot enter Delhi.
