As per news report of The Indian Express, a senior police officer said they received inputs that one of the farmers’ unions made a call for farmers to come from Panipat toll plaza to Singhu Border, but their posters also mentioned going to Delhi. “Our staff at all the border points, including the protest sites of Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur, is performing its duties round the clock, but we have just strengthened our presence at various border points in the wake of the call. All internal and outside forces have been mobilised to the maximum,” an officer said.
