Farmers Resume 'Delhi Chalo' March: Police Heightens Vigil at Borders

Welcome back to the latest developments in the ongoing farmers' protest! As the 'Delhi Chalo' march gains momentum once again, tensions are high at the Tikri, Singhu, and Ghazipur borders. Let's dive into the updates shaping this significant movement.

The Call to Action

On Wednesday, farmers will resume their 'Delhi Chalo' march with renewed determination. Following the call from the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), farmer leaders are urging their peers from across the nation to join the protest in Delhi. This resumption marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle for farmers' rights.

Vigilance Amidst Tensions

In response to the march, the Delhi Police has escalated vigilance efforts at key border points. With tensions running high, authorities are closely monitoring the situation at the Tikri, Singhu, and Ghazipur borders to maintain order and security.

Ongoing Protests and Future Actions

Since the initial 'Delhi Chalo' march was halted by security forces, protesting farmers have remained steadfast at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points. Not content with just one action, farmers have announced a countrywide rail roko on March 10, signaling their unwavering commitment to pressing their demands.

Farmer leaders Sarwan Singh Pandher and Jagjit Singh Dallewal have vowed to continue the protest, undeterred by potential obstacles such as the Model Code of Conduct for elections. Their determination underscores the gravity of the issues at hand and the resilience of the farming community.

A Call for Attention: Mahapanchayat and Stalemates

Looking ahead, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) has called for a Mahapanchayat in Delhi on March 14 to spotlight critical issues ranging from MSP guarantees to pension rights for farmers and farm laborers. Despite numerous rounds of talks, the deadlock between farmers and the government persists, highlighting the depth of unresolved grievances.

Voices of Demand and Action

The demands of the farmers echo loudly: a legal guarantee of MSP on all crops, implementation of the Swaminathan Commission's recommendations, debt waivers, and justice for victims of past violence. These demands reflect not just economic concerns but also a cry for justice and dignity for the farming community.

Ongoing Developments and Roadblocks

As tensions simmer, authorities reopened the Ambala-Chandigarh national highway after a three-week closure. However, the barricades at the Haryana-Punjab border in Shambu near Ambala remain, underscoring the ongoing challenges in the region.

Conclusion

The farmers' protest is not just a movement; it's a testament to the resilience and resolve of those fighting for their rights. As the 'Delhi Chalo' march resumes and tensions escalate, the eyes of the nation are on the farmers and their unwavering quest for justice and dignity.

Stay tuned for more updates as this crucial saga unfolds, and let's continue to stand in solidarity with those on the front lines of change. Together, we can amplify their voices and work towards a fairer, more equitable future for all.

Keep marching, keep fighting, and keep the spirit of resistance alive!

Traffic Gridlock: Massive Delays as Farmers' March to Delhi Causes Congestion

Key border points connecting Delhi with its satellite towns are experiencing severe traffic congestion and diversions ahead of a large-scale farmers’ march to the national capital.

Long queues of vehicles are visible on the highways at Ghazipur and Chilla borders, linking Delhi with Ghaziabad and Noida in Uttar Pradesh.

A frustrated commuter stranded on the DND flyover reported moving “only a kilometre in over an hour.” He described the traffic as stagnant for the past 20 minutes, with no apparent u-turn option.

Traffic is moving slowly on NH-48, the route connecting Delhi with Gurugram, with vehicles undergoing checks before entering the national capital.

Several border points, including Ghazipur, Singhu, and Tikri, have been fortified to prevent protesting farmers from entering Delhi. Concrete blocks, layers of barricades, barbed wires, and nails have been strategically placed on highways to impede the movement of tractors and trollies across these border points.

Despite talks between farmers and a government delegation last night, there was no consensus on three key demands, including a law guaranteeing the minimum support price (MSP).

In response to the anticipated disruption, Delhi Traffic Police have issued guidelines, restricting the entry of goods vehicles into Delhi via the Greater Noida Expressway. Goods vehicles are also prohibited from traveling between Sirsa in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh’s Surajpur via Parichowk.

To navigate around the traffic, those traveling to Delhi from the DND border are advised to take the elevated road via Sector 18 from Film City. Commuters from the Chilla side can use the Sector 14A Flyover, Roundabout Chowk, Sector 15 via Sandeep Paper Mill Chowk, Jhundapura Chowk.

Additionally, people traveling from Kalindi Kunj Border to Delhi are recommended to take the Mahamaya Flyover, while those using the Yamuna Expressway should exit at Jewar Toll towards Khurja and follow the Jahangirpur route.

Borders Sealed, Marches Banned: Delhi A Fortress As Farmers Hit Streets

Protesting farmers from Punjab are firm on marching to Delhi today as the Union ministers' five-plus-hour meeting with them remained inconclusive. There has been no resolution on the main demand of the farmers -- the minimum support price for crops.

Here are 10 points on this big story:

The farmers' meeting with Union ministers in Chandigarh -- a last-ditch effort of the government that got singed two years ago over farm law protests -- continued almost till midnight. Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal and Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda led the talks with the farmer leaders.

Post 11 pm, the two sides came to an agreement on repealing the Electricity Act 2020, compensation to farmers killed in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, and the withdrawal of cases against farmers during the farmers' movement.

But there was no consensus on the three key demands -- enactment of a law to guarantee a Minimum Support Price for all crops, farmer loan waiver and the implementation of the Swaminathan Commission recommendations.

After the meeting ended just before midnight, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee's Sarwan Singh Pandher said the 'Delhi Chalo' march is on. "Two years ago, the government had promised to meet half of our demands in writing… We wanted to resolve the issue peacefully. But the government is not sincere. They just want to waste time," a farmers' representative told reporters.

The Delhi Police have taken every possible step to stop the march from entering Delhi. There is heavy police presence at the Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders. The police have imposed a month-long ban on public meetings and tractors and trolleys entering the city.

Prohibitory orders banning large gatherings have been declared in these areas. Much of the roads have been barricaded with concrete blocks and barbed wire. The movement of commercial vehicles has been stopped.

The authorities in Haryana have also fortified the state borders with Punjab at many places, including Ambala, Jind, Fatehabad, Kurukshetra and Sirsa. Concrete blocks, iron nails and barbed wire have been used to barricade the roads and block the protesters from entering the state.

Haryana has also invoked the 2021 law against public and private property damage that makes perpetrators pay. The state home department has directed the civil and police officers to stick to the rule.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha had announced 'Delhi Chalo' march. The farmers have taken a hard line, armed with the precedent of the government's capitulation and withdrawal of the farm laws following the year-long agitation in 2020-21.

The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha which has the allegiance of more than 250 farmers' unions, and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha -- a platform of another 150 unions -- called the protest in December. The protest, coordinated from Punjab, is meant to remind the government of the promises it made two years ago.

Securing Delhi: Stringent Measures for Farmers' Protest

As the ‘Delhi Chalo’ march commenced with thousands of farmers converging towards the national capital to press for their demands, Delhi has transformed into a heavily fortified zone. Stringent security measures have been implemented at border crossings to deter the protesting farmers from entering the city.

Amidst the unfolding ‘Delhi Chalo’ protest march, authorities have ramped up security along the borders of Delhi and neighbouring states to obstruct the farmers’ entry into the capital.

DCP Ankit Singh of the North East District revealed that Section 144 has been imposed to curb assemblies and the entry of tractor trolleys into Delhi. More than 2,000 personnel from various units, including the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and the Crime Branch, have been deployed to maintain law and order.

Despite inconclusive talks between farmer leaders and Union Ministers, the farmers remain resolute in advancing their agenda despite the significant security presence.

Here’s an overview of the stringent security measures in place for the farmers’ protest:

Fortification in Haryana: Authorities in Haryana have fortified the state’s borders with Punjab using concrete blocks, iron nails, and barbed wire in locations such as Ambala, Jind, Fatehabad, Kurukshetra, and Sirsa. Riot control vehicles, including water cannons, have been stationed along the Punjab and Haryana borders to dissuade advancing protesters.

Multi-Layered Barricading: Singhu, Tikri, and Ghazipur borders have been barricaded extensively to seal entry points into Delhi. Concertina wires, nails, concrete blocks, and containers reinforce these barricades, aiming to prevent breaches. Drones are deployed for aerial surveillance.

Presence of Security Forces: Over 50 companies comprising Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel equipped with tear gas launchers, bulletproof vests, helmets, and advanced weaponry are stationed strategically along the Singhu, Tikri, and Ghazipur borders. Advanced weapons are on standby to manage any escalation.

Multi-Layered Blockades: Iron barricades, jersey barriers, shipping containers, barbed wire fencing, and vehicles create multi-layered blockades at the borders, further impeding the progress of protesters.

Prohibitory Orders and Traffic Restrictions: The Delhi Police has imposed prohibitory orders, banning processions of tractors, trucks, or vehicles into the city for a month. Traffic restrictions at Singhu, Ghazipur, and Tikri borders aim to deter vehicles carrying protesters from entering Delhi.

As the ‘Delhi Chalo’ protest gains momentum, the stringent security measures underscore the complexities surrounding the farmers’ demands and the challenges in maintaining public order during such demonstrations.

Wrestlers' stir: Farmers climb over, shove aside barricades to reach protesters at Jantar Mantar

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has announced a nationwide agitation in support of the protesting wrestlers.

NEW DELHI: There was a brief moment of commotion at the Jantar Mantar here when a group of farmers forced their way through the police barricades to join the top wrestlers protesting for action against Wrestlers Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Singh.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Pranav Tayal said a group of farmers were escorted to Jantar Mantar as they wished to join the wrestlers’ protest.

“However, at the entry barricades, they were in a hurry to reach the Dharna site. As a result, some of them climbed the barricades, while some others removed them, to make their way to the spot where wrestlers are protesting, “ he added.   The farmers from the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), wearing green scarves and headgear, could be seen jumping off the barricades and even dragging them away so that their way is not blocked.

The senior officer said the police personnel deployed there have now kept the barricades at the back side to facilitate their entry.

“The farmers reached the dharna site and met the wrestlers to express solidarity with them,” Tayal said.

Meanwhile, senior officers requested the people not to believe any fake news. “The protestors at Jantar Mantar are being facilitated. Entry is being regulated through Door Frame Metal Detector (DFMD) to ensure safety. Please remain peaceful and abide by the law,” they said.

India’s top wrestlers, including Olympic medallists Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and double World Championships medallist Vinesh Phogat have been protesting at the Jantar Mantar since April 23 demanding action against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over the allegations of sexual harassment leveled by 7 women wrestlers.

The police have stepped up security arrangements at the Jantar Mantar and at the Capital’s border areas as well. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has announced a nationwide agitation in support of the wrestlers.

On Sunday as well, more than 600 farmers, who had gathered at Delhi’s Tikri Border to join the wrestlers’ protest, were allowed by Delhi Police to enter the city and go to Jantar Mantar by bus.

However, there was chaos at one stage when a few protesters, including men and women, got off the buses, thinking that vehicles would not be allowed, and began marching. The police explained to them that they could travel to Jantar Mantar by bus after which they again boarded the buses to reach the protest site.

The farmer movement is not just about the three laws. It has been building up amidst the prolonged agrarian crisis, which profoundly affects the farming families. Official data from Punjab show that between the years 2000 and 2015, around 17,000 farmers committed suicide. Some families have had more than one suicide. Many of the women from suicide families in Punjab came to Tikri last month. They carried the photographs of their loved ones, some women held two photographs, of husband and father or father-in-law, or husband and son, who had killed themselves. The effect of the agrarian crisis was writ large on their bodies. The men died and these women had to put food on the table and fend for their families, for instance, ensuring education for their children. These women are trying to organise themselves, by establishing the Kisan Mazdoor Khudkushi Peedit Parivar Committee (KMKPPC), which sees farmer suicides as institutional murders. The KMKPPC was founded by Kiranjit Kaur, a young university student whose father had committed suicide. She has been going from village to village, collecting data on women whose husbands, sons, fathers or fathers-in-law committed suicide—and who are now destitute. The women’s experience of the agrarian crisis is far more intense.
