In view of today's protest march of farmers, Delhi Police has ordered to increase surveillance at Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur borders, railway and metro stations.

The farmers' movement has not stopped yet, farmers from across the country are once again ready to march to Delhi today. The farmers who have been camping on the Shambhu border for the last several days will also try to go towards Jantar Mantar today.

In view of the farmers' march to Delhi, the police is once again on alert mode. Along with increasing surveillance, the police have tightened security arrangements on all the borders of the capital. Section 144 has also been imposed at many places in Delhi. No one is allowed to hold any demonstration.

The farmers had announced that they would once again reach Delhi to protest on Wednesday. On March 3, the organizations leading the farmers' movement - Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and United Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) had called on farmers from across the country to reach Delhi on Wednesday. They plan to reach Delhi by bus, train and metro.

The deployment of police and paramilitary forces continues on the Singhu and Tikri borders. Additional police and paramilitary forces have already been deployed at railway and metro stations and bus stands, a senior police officer said. He said that no one will be allowed to violate the law.

Farmer leaders say that farmers are fighting to save the loot that is taking place in the country. He said, "Our freedom of expression is being snatched away. The public should question the government for us."

Farmers have also called for a nationwide Rail Roko movement for 4 hours on March 10 in support of their various demands, including legal guarantee on Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops.

The farmers had started their protest march on 13 February, but their attempt to march to Delhi was foiled by the police. Due to which there were clashes on the border of Haryana and Punjab.

After the government and the farmers did not agree on MSP, the farmers once again tried to march to Dillu on 21 February but the strict security arrangements of the police foiled them. During this time tear gas shells were also fired.

Farmers can also enter Delhi through metro and train. Due to which the police also keep a strict vigil on the metro stations at these places. Heavy force has also been deployed around the Prime Minister's residence and the Home Minister's house.

Farmer leaders Sarwan Singh Pandher and Jagjit Singh Dallewal said that the sacrifices of the farmers will not go in vain. The struggle will continue until the demands are met.
