Tamil Nadu farmers staged a sit-in protest in Trichy, expressing solidarity with the ongoing 'Delhi Chalo' agitation. Accusing the central government of depriving farmers' rights, they warned of filing nominations against PM Modi if profitable prices weren't ensured for agricultural products. Farmer leader P Ayyakannu criticized restrictions on farmers' movement and highlighted unfulfilled pre-election promises. Meanwhile, Delhi police fortified city borders to thwart farmers' march towards the capital. Strategic deployment of personnel and barricades marked "Plan B" security measures. The heightened tension reflects escalating farmer discontent and the government's stringent response amid the nationwide agitation.
