Punjab Farmers Begin Delhi March; Haryana Enforces Tight Security at Borders
Farmers from Punjab have embarked on a march towards Delhi today, demanding attention to their long-standing grievances. Dubbed the "Delhi Chalo" movement, the march is being led by prominent farmer leaders, including Sarwan Singh Pandher, Jagjit Singh Pandher, Satnam Singh Pannu, Surinder Singh Chautala, Surjeet Singh, and Baljinder Singh. The Shambhu border near Ambala has become a focal point of activity as the farmers move toward the national capital.
Farmers Determined to March
Sarwan Singh Pandher, speaking at the Shambhu border, said, "We have been sitting in protest for over eight months, but our demands have been ignored. This march is a necessary step to make our voices heard. If the government stops us, it will still be a moral victory for us." A group of 101 farmers is expected to begin the march from the Shambhu border at 1 PM today. Meanwhile, Jagjit Singh Dallewal continues his hunger strike at the Khanauri border, which has entered its 11th day.
Haryana Police Steps Up Security
In anticipation of the march, Haryana Police have implemented tight security measures, including barricading along the Ambala-Delhi border. Ambala SP Surendra Singh Bhoria assured that arrangements have been made to maintain law and order, requesting farmers to remain peaceful and follow necessary legal procedures. The district administration has invoked Section 163 of the BNSS Act, prohibiting gatherings of five or more people. The Deputy Commissioner has banned all processions by foot or vehicle until further notice to ensure public safety and prevent unauthorized movement.
Farmers' Key Demands
Farmers are marching to demand:
Implementation of Minimum Support Price (MSP).
Loan waivers for farmers.
Pensions for farmers and agricultural laborers.
A rollback of police cases filed against protesting farmers.
Justice for victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
Restoration of the 2013 Land Acquisition Act.
Compensation for families of farmers who died during the 2020-21 protests.
No hikes in electricity rates.
Government's Response
While the farmers insist on peaceful demonstrations, the Haryana administration has taken a strict stance, citing concerns over potential disruptions. The government has reiterated that peaceful protests without tractors or trolleys will not face objections, but all activities must adhere to legal frameworks.
The movement marks a critical juncture in the ongoing farmer protests, highlighting unresolved issues that continue to challenge India’s agricultural policies. As the march progresses, all eyes are on how both sides handle the situation to avoid further escalation.
