New Delhi: Security in Delhi has been intensified with multi-layer barricades, concrete blocks, iron nails and walls of containers at border points to stop a ‘Delhi Chalo’ march of farmers from entering the national capital on Tuesday, after talks between farm leaders and the Centre remained inconclusive.
Police and paramilitary personnel in anti-riot gear have been deployed in massive numbers at the three border points — Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur. Makeshift jails have been set up at “specific locations” in view of the march, an official said.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha have announced that farmers will head to Delhi on Tuesday to press the Centre to accept their demands, including the enactment of a law to guarantee a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops.
