Delhi Chalo: Farmers to be in Delhi for a long haul

Punjab and Haryana farmers protesting in Delhi got support from states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Farmers from these states will join the stir in the next few days.

Protests were observed in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh as well.

On November 27, Delhi Police allowed the protesting farmers to hold a peaceful protest at Burari’s Nirankari ground in the national capital , the farmers have not yet moved to Burari.
However protestors are seen gathering at Tikri border which led to increased security deployment.

As heavy security has been deployed at the Singhu border, it appears that farmers are in the Delhi city for a long haul until the farm laws are withdrawn.

There could be a possible stand- off on the Delhi- Uttar Pradesh interstate border on Saturday as farmers from UP, Uttarakhand and MP will try to enter the capital from here.

After battling teargas shells and water cannons for hours on November 28 at the Delhi-Haryana border in Sonipat and Jhajjar, thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana were allowed in the evening to enter through the Tikri border and hold their protest at Burari in north-west Delhi against the three newly enacted farm laws — The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020 — passed by Parliament in its monsoon session.
