Synopsis
With no end in sight for the impasse over the new farm laws, that number is set to swell. On Friday, more farmer groups started heading to Delhi from Punjab and other parts of North India, ahead of a nationwide sit-in protest on December 14 called by farmer organisations.

On the Singhu and Tikri borders, which are the main protest sites, the arrangements are elaborate and the activities are managed with precision. The leaders said their focus is on keeping discipline and ensuring peaceful protest.
Fifteen days since they started assembling, there are more than 50,000 farmers now sitting on the two major highways linking the national capital with the rest of the country at the Singhu and Tikri borders, estimate security agencies.
