After the confrontation of farmers with the security forces at Shambhu border, the Delhi border has been sealed for any vehicular movement. Security on the Sonepat-Delhi and Singhu borders has been tightened.
The Panipat and Sonepat police have placed barricades near Patti Kalyana village on NH-44 to stop the farmers from entering Delhi.
The Delhi Police have made multilayer security arrangements at Singhu border and restricted the movement of traffic, including service roads from Kundli to Singhu border, by placing boulders, soil-filled dumpers, barbed barricades, etc.
