Protesting farmers will resume their 'Delhi Chalo' march on Wednesday, February 6. The Delhi Police has directed its personnel to ensure strict vigil at the Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur borders, and railway and metro stations and bus stands.
The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), the two umbrella bodies that are spearheading the farmer's agitation, on March 3 gave a call to farmers from across the country to reach Delhi on Wednesday.

The police said checking will be intensified at different locations and there may be traffic congestion in the city.
Farmers are also called for a four-hour countrywide rail roko on March 10 in support of their various demands, including a legal guarantee on minimum support price for crops.
The protesting farmers have been staying put at the Shambhu and the Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana after their "Delhi Chalo" march was stopped by security forces.
They began their march on February 13 but were stopped by the security forces, which led to clashes at the border of Haryana and Punjab.
