New Delhi: Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora announced the imposition of Section 144 across Delhi ahead of the scheduled 'Delhi Chalo' farmers' march on February 13. This measure, aimed at maintaining law and order, extends to Delhi's borders with neighboring Uttar Pradesh.

Concrete blocks and iron nails have been deployed at the borders to deter vehicles transporting protesters from entering the city. These security measures have resulted in traffic disruptions in the border areas, causing inconvenience to commuters.

Several farmer associations, primarily from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab, have organized the march to demand legislation guaranteeing minimum support prices (MSP) for their agricultural produce. This demand was part of the conditions agreed upon for withdrawing their agitation in 2021.

An advisory has been issued, imposing traffic restrictions on commercial vehicles at the Singhu border since Monday, with the restrictions extending to all vehicle types starting Tuesday.

Over 5,000 security personnel, along with cranes and earthmovers carrying large containers to block roads, are deployed at the borders. Multiple security barricades have been erected to prevent farmers from entering the national capital. Additionally, nails have been placed on roads to puncture the tires of vehicles in case protesters attempt to force entry.
