Farmers' protests against three farm laws have entered day 20 today, the agitation is gaining strength at all borders points around Delhi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet members of the farmer community including Sikh cultivators, during his visit to Kutch today.
The number of protesters is swelling with each passing day around Delhi borders, officials of Haryana police said the borders can¡¯t take more people as ¡°the situation is increasingly turning unsustainable¡±.
According to Haryana police, over 60,000 farmers are camping at the borders while the farmer leaders said the figure is higher.
Not just Punjab, but farmers have been arriving from Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and other parts of the country to join the protest.
Police said that they have made arrangements to seal the borders if the need arises.
¡°The idea is that people feel there is police presence at the borders to minimise movement of protesters,¡± said a Haryana police officer.
Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh are protesting over the past few weeks at the borders of the national capital.?
The farmers sat on a day long hunger strike, as the talks between farmers unions and Centre resulted in a deadlock.
