In preparation for a march towards Delhi, farmer organisations have formed a human chain at the Shambhu border.
The Shambhu border, which separates Haryana and Punjab, has become Ground Zero for the ongoing farmers' protest. Farmer leaders have been strategically positioned in a buffer zone to avoid potential clashes with the police.
In preparation for a march towards Delhi, farmer organisations have formed a human chain at the Shambhu border. On one side, a lineup of excavators and tractors stands in defiance, and the Haryana Police on the other. The Punjab and Haryana Police are on high alert, with concerns over the potential use of heavy machinery by the protesting farmers to break barricades and enter Haryana.
As the confrontation intensifies, Delhi Police has fortified the national capital with a multi-layered security apparatus. Delhi's critical border points - Singhu Border, Tikri Border, and Ghazipur Border - are fortified with barricades made of barbed wire, nails, cement, and stone walls, supplemented by water cannons and anti-riot equipment.
