Delhi Police have issued traffic advisories ahead of a major protest march being organised by farmer groups and civil society organisations opposed to recent agricultural reform measures. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha, along with the People Against SIR platform, has called for nationwide demonstrations, with Delhi expected to see significant participation.
The coordinated action has drawn backing from various trade unions and civil society organisations, signalling broad-based opposition to the policies in question. Authorities have begun preparations to manage expected congestion on key routes, with traffic management personnel positioned across the capital.
The protest represents a continuation of farmer-led activism that has gained momentum across India in recent years. Police advisories typically precede large demonstrations to inform commuters of potential disruptions and alternative routes.
Details regarding the exact timing and routes of the march remain to be finalised by protest organisers. The Delhi Police have urged residents and commuters to plan their journeys accordingly and follow official traffic updates.
