With the ongoing farmers’ agitation against the newly enacted farm laws entering the 13th day, along with a call for Bharat bandh on Tuesday, the traffic near the borders of the national capital region remains affected as multiple borders between Delhi and the neighbouring states remain closed for commuters.

Meanwhile, a huge force of security personnel has been deployed at Singhu border between Haryana and Delhi in view of the nationwide bandh, called by the farmers today. “Delhi Police, along with paramilitary forces, are on alert. Constant monitoring of the ground situation will be done by senior police officers,” said an officer.

The police have also increased security deployment at market areas to make sure that nobody puts pressure on shopkeepers to shut shops, even as the farmers informally assured police that the protest will be peaceful and that participation is voluntary. Haryana and Delhi Police have also issued travel advisories informing people that they may face traffic jams on various roads and highways.
