A day ahead of their Delhi Chalo march, the protesting farmers on Tuesday were making efforts to mobilise their supporters to swell the scale of their march, even as Punjab Police is leaving nothing to chance as inputs indicate plans of the protesters to storm the barricades of Haryana police and enter Haryana, a move which would disturb the law and order situation in both the States.
On Tuesday, Punjab’s Director General of Police issued instructions to all Senior Superintendents of Police and Commissioners of Police that “no JCBs, poclaines, tippers, hydras and other heavy earthmoving equipment should be allowed to reach the Punjab-Haryana boundary at Khanauri and Shambu where farmer agitation is under way.”
