FollowFarmers will march towards the Parliament complex on Monday to press five key demands, leading to increased security and route diversions in the Delhi-NCR regions. Sukhbir Khalifa, the chairman of the Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP), declared on Sunday that the march to the Parliament complex will intensify calls for benefits and compensation under the new agricultural legislation.
The march will start at 12 pm close to the Mahamaya flyover and proceed on foot and on tractors in the direction of Delhi. The march will include farmers from 20 districts, including Agra, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, and Gautam Buddha Nagar.
This comes at a time when other farmer organizations, such as the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM, non-political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM), have scheduled foot marches towards Delhi starting on December 6.
Barricading borders
The Gautam Buddh Nagar Traffic Police have responded to the march by issuing a comprehensive notice to warn of possible disturbances.
