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.
Their primary demand is the enactment of a law guaranteeing a minimum support price (MSP), a condition they had set when agreeing to withdraw their agitation against the now-repealed farm laws in 2021.
