Chandigarh, December 6, 2024: Security has been tightened at the Shambhu border in Punjab as thousands of farmers prepare for a major march to Delhi in protest against government policies. Authorities have deployed additional forces and set up barricades to prevent any untoward incidents while also ensuring the smooth movement of traffic in the region.
Farmers from various parts of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh are expected to converge at the Shambhu border before heading toward the national capital. The march is organized by farmer unions who are demanding the repeal of certain agricultural laws and better support for farmers.
Police forces have been put on high alert, with drones and surveillance cameras being used to monitor the situation closely. The government has also urged protesters to maintain peace and refrain from any violence during the march.
This demonstration is seen as a significant test for the government’s response to ongoing farmer protests, as tensions have been building over the past year regarding agricultural reforms. The outcome of this march could have important political ramifications ahead of the upcoming elections.
