Delhi Police has heightened security across various border points in anticipation of a farmers' march to the national capital on Friday, December 6. The march, organised by Punjab farmers under the banners of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, is aimed at voicing demands related to agricultural policies, particularly seeking a legal guarantee for the minimum support price (MSP) of crops.

A senior Delhi Police officer informed PTI that security has been reinforced at the city's border points, with a skeletal deployment already in place at the Singhu Border. However, the force is prepared to scale up security as needed, particularly around the Shambu Border on the Punjab-Haryana border. The officer further added that while there will be a limited police presence initially, this may increase depending on how the situation develops. With heightened security measures, traffic disruptions are anticipated, particularly at key border locations and in central Delhi, where significant roadblocks could occur.
