What are the preparations of police ahead of the farmers 'Delhi chalo' march protest ? 

 

The state's border with Punjab at Shambhu near Ambala district is sealed with concrete blocks, sandbags, barbed wire, and anti-riot vehicles on the road. 

 

Iron sheets have been installed along the two sides of the road on the Ghaggar flyover to prevent protesters from throwing police barricades off it. Water cannons and Vajra vehicles have been stationed and the Ghaggar river bed below has been dug up. 

 

Police have also made elaborate arrangements at the state's borders with Punjab in the Jind and Fatehabad districts to stop the march. In Fatehabad, concrete blocks and spike strips have been placed on a road in the Jakhal area. 

 

At the Tohana border in the district, authorities have placed sand-laden containers and concrete barricades and cemented three layers of nails on the road. 

 

In Jind, two roads near the Haryana-Punjab border have been shut for vehicular movement, and restrictions imposed on two more roads, a police official said on Sunday. 

 

Apprehending the disturbance of peace because of the proposed march, the Haryana government has suspended mobile internet services and bulk SMS in seven districts - Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa from February 11 to 13. 

 

Amid measures by Haryana authorities to prevent the farmers from heading towards the national capital, the Centre has invited them to hold another meeting to discuss their demands on February 12. 

 

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha had announced the 'Delhi Chalo' march by more than 200 farmers' unions on February 13 to press the Centre into accepting several demands, including the enactment of a law to guarantee a minimum support price (MSP) for crops.

 

The Haryana Police on Saturday issued a traffic advisory asking commuters to take alternative routes given the restrictions imposed.
