The Punjab government's response came a day after the Centre conveyed its strong objection to the gathering of protesters, estimating that nearly 14,000 people have assembled along the Punjab-Haryana border.
Though the farmers have been stopped by police at Punjab’s borders with Haryana, the impact was witnessed in Delhi as commuters spent hours trying to travel through the two NCR (national capital region) towns to Delhi.
The protesting farmers at the Punjab-Haryana border said they would proceed towards Delhi in a disciplined manner to avoid traffic congestion, and were left without options as the government ignored their demands.
