Earlier in the day, the Delhi Police intensified vehicle checking in view of the ‘Delhi Chalo’ march by Punjab farmers against the Centre’s farm laws resulting in people traveling to the national capital from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to face traffic snarls at several border crossings.
Farmers from Punjab are scheduled to reach Delhi through five highways connecting the city as part of their march.
