Borders sealed, CRPF deployed for farmers' protest

Farmers from Punjab, Haryana and a few other states are slated to reach Delhi on Thursday to demonstrate against the Centre's new farm laws. A call for "Delhi Chalo" was issued in this regard by various farmer groups and led to prohibitory orders being put in place by the Haryana government and the Delhi Police. On Thursday morning, cemented barricades and cranes were seen at Delhi's Badarpur border to halt the farmers' protest march. Along with Delhi Police personnel, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans have also been deployed at the Badarpur border.
