The Delhi Police on Thursday stepped up security deployment at all the border points connecting the neighbouring states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The move came after they received intelligence inputs that around 50,000 farmers are planning to enter the national capital, The Indian Express has reported. The farmer organisations, however, said there were no such plans.
A senior police officer said they received inputs that one of the farmers’ unions made a call for farmers to come from Panipat toll plaza to Singhu Border, but their posters also mentioned going to Delhi, the report added.
Farmers have been protesting at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders of the national capital for over six months against the three new farm laws
