Three-hour “chakka jam” hits Punjab, Haryana most; scattered impact in other States
The three-hour “chakka jam” or road blockade protest called by farm unions on Saturday went off smoothly, despite about 60 people being detained at a solidarity protest site within Delhi. There were also reports from some unions of detentions at Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana and Karnataka. With fears of Republic Day-style chaos and violence looming in the background, security forces had stepped up deployment within the capital, and farm unions called off protests in U.P. and Uttarakhand.
