New Delhi: The "Delhi Chalo" protest, spearheaded by farmers, commenced on Tuesday from Punjab's Fatehgarh Sahib.

Massive security arrangements have been put in place at the borders of the national capital. To ensure law and order, the Delhi Police have enforced Section 144, prohibiting the entry of tractor-trolleys and large assemblies. Visuals from various borders such as Gazipur, Shambhu, and Tikri depict barricades and barbed wires obstructing road access.

Farmers from different parts of India initiated their Delhi Chalo protest on Tuesday amid extensive police preparations in Haryana and Delhi, with orders to prevent their entry into the national capital.

The Sanyukt Kisan Morcha, a non-political entity, is leading the second leg of the farmers' protest, demanding a guaranteed minimum support price (MSP) for their crops.

Leaders have asserted that farmers from over 200 organizations will join the Delhi Chalo march and assemble in the national capital. While they claim farmers from all parts of India will participate, reports suggest that over 90% of the farmers expected to join are from Haryana and Delhi.

Administrations in Delhi and Haryana are making comprehensive provisions to control the movement of the farmers' protests.

Section 144 has been imposed at various locations, including the Delhi border, with police warning farmer groups of strict legal action if they attempt to enter the national capital.

Police have erected strong barricades and fencing at several points and are conducting drills with tear-gas shells to remain prepared for any untoward incident.
