Ahead of the scheduled farmers' protest at the borders of Delhi-Haryana and Delhi-Uttar Pradesh on February 13, the Delhi Traffic Police has issued an advisory to ensure the seamless traffic flow in the National Capital Region (NCR).
To fortify the national capital, authorities have barricaded the border areas and deployed more than 5,000 security personnel. The farmers, hailing from Bathinda, have departed for Delhi to participate in the 'Delhi-Chalo' march.
