Farmers’ protests continue to intensify across key border points, causing disruptions in daily life and traffic flow.

The Supreme Court on Monday urged Punjab farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, currently on a fast-unto-death at the Khanauri border, to encourage protesters to avoid obstructing highways and causing inconvenience to the public. The court emphasized the need for peaceful demonstrations that do not disrupt essential services or daily activities.

Traffic Snarls at Delhi-Noida Border

Commuters faced massive congestion at the Delhi-Noida border on Monday due to increased police barricading and checks prompted by the ongoing farmers’ protest march. Authorities deployed drones for surveillance to ensure safety and monitor the situation effectively.

Background of the Protests

Farmers have been demonstrating at various borders, including Shambhu in Patiala, since February after being denied entry into Ambala district during their Delhi Chalo march. Protesters continue to demand action on their concerns while maintaining camps in tractor-trailers along the Punjab-Haryana border.
