It could be a repeat of the 2020-2021 edition of the farmers' agitation as the farmers are geared up for a long haul in their fight against the government to get their demands fulfilled.

According to an intelligence report, about 1500 tractors and 500 vehicles have been mobilised for the 'Delhi Chalo' march.

The vehicles are said to be loaded with six months’ worth of food, rations and logistics. Tractors have been modified to turn them into makeshift shelters.

The report further claimed that the farmers, arriving in small groups, plan to take shelter in gurudwaras, dharamshalas, ashrams, guest houses around Delhi.

Given tight security on all entry points to Delhi, it is suspected that the protesters may use remote and non-motorable borders to enter the national capital.

The police, having learned lessons from the previous protest, are taking all possible measures to contain the agitation.
