With protesting farmers moving towards the national capital as part of their 'Delhi Chalo' march, Supreme Court Bar Association President Adish Aggarwala sought action against them.

Aggarwala wrote a letter to Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud urging him to take suo motu action against the farmers for trying to enter Delhi.

He said the protesters would create a nuisance and disturb the daily life of citizens.

The SCBA chief further requested the CJI to tell courts not to pass any adverse order due to the non-presence of lawyers.

Meanwhile, massive security arrangements have been put in place at the city borders. CrPC Section 144 has been imposed and entry of tractor trolleys and other vehicles carrying protesters has been prohibited.

Visuals from Delhi's Gazipur border, Shambhu border and Tikri border showed barricades and barbed wires erected on the roads.

The farmer leaders decided to go ahead with the march after their talks with two Union ministers regarding their demands remained inconclusive.
