Protesting farmers have resumed their march towards Delhi after a night halt, despite a massive security presence and prohibitory orders. Recalling scenes from the 2020-21 protest, tear gas and water cannons were employed to deter farmers from crossing the Punjab-Haryana border. Determined to press on until their demands are met, farmers assert they are prepared for a prolonged standoff, equipped with essentials for months. Disagreements persist between the government and farmers over key issues, including MSP legislation and farm loan waivers. With public gatherings banned and stringent border restrictions causing traffic chaos, the standoff intensifies as both sides stand firm.
