Security has been heightened along the Singhu, Ghazipur, and Tikri borders in anticipation of tomorrow’s large-scale farmers’ protest in Delhi. Authorities have installed security barricades and placed nails on roads to deter farmers from entering the national capital.
According to officials, approximately 1,000 to 1,500 Delhi Police personnel will be stationed at each border area, with deployment strategies subject to change based on the evolving situation.
