As Uttar Pradesh farmers announced a protest march to Parliament on Thursday, security has been beefed up at the Delhi borders. A major traffic was witnessed at the Delhi-Noida border, several two-wheelers and four-wheelers were struck in the jam at Sarita Vihar and also on the Delhi to Noida route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the situation, Section 144 has been imposed and all the borders have been sealed for a day. According to DIG, Additional CP Shivhari Meena, heavy security deployment at all the borders and arrangements have been made so that the people do not face any trouble. Meena added security has been tightened, and officials are in talks with the farmers. All the vehicles are being checked, he further added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Farmers in Noida and Greater Noida, protesting since December 2023, have demanded hiked compensation and developed plots against their land acquired by the regional development authorities. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get their demands fulfilled, the farmers\u2019 groups have called for a \u2018Kisan Mahapanchayat\u2019 and a protest march to Parliament in New Delhi on February 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police on Tuesday said that there will be restrictions on February 7 and 8 under Section 144.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gathering of people, unlawful assembly of more than five people and unauthorised processions, including religious and political are banned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Delhi\u2019s borders with Haryana, the authority has made a similar preparation as they did in 2020 to block the farmers when they try to enter Delhi. Cement barriers have been brought in and sandbags were also spotted on the Shambhu border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haryana Police have also asked the farmers to avoid any gatherings and not to join the protest. They have warned the farmers of huge losses if they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The farmers in Haryana and Punjab have various demands, including a law to guarantee Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, pension for farmers, crop insurance and the quashing of FIRs registered against farmers during the 2020 protest. They also planned a tractor march on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
