A fresh round of farmer mobilisation is underway near the Shambhu border as thousands of protesters assemble ahead of a planned march towards New Delhi. The development comes just a day after unrest during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) march to Parliament, prompting authorities to significantly strengthen security arrangements around the national capital.

Farmer groups from Punjab and Haryana are travelling towards Delhi to participate in a farmers' meeting. However, the Punjab contingent was stopped by police at the Shambhu border, where restrictions have been intensified to prevent further movement towards the capital.

Section 163 Imposed at Shambhu Border

To maintain law and order, the Ambala Police have imposed Section 163 at the Shambhu border, restricting public assembly in the area. Security personnel have been deployed in large numbers, with barricades and checkpoints established to regulate movement and prevent any escalation.

Authorities have stated that the measures are precautionary and aimed at ensuring public safety while managing traffic and maintaining order.

Security Heightened Around Delhi

The latest mobilisation comes amid an already heightened security environment following the previous day's protests in central Delhi. Police have increased surveillance at key entry points into the city and are monitoring developments closely to prevent disruptions.

Officials are coordinating with neighbouring state administrations to manage the movement of protesters while ensuring that law and order is maintained.

Farmers Continue to Press Their Demands

Farmer organisations have maintained that the gathering is intended to raise issues concerning the agricultural sector and engage with authorities over their demands. While organisers have called for a peaceful demonstration, police remain on alert given the scale of the mobilisation.

As the situation develops, authorities continue to monitor the movement of farmer groups and assess security arrangements. Further updates are expected regarding the proposed meeting and any decisions on allowing protesters to proceed towards the national capital.
