As many as 15,000 to 20,000 farmers are likely to reach Delhi on February 13 on 2,000 to 2,500 tractors to participate in the Delhi Chalo march, according to a Delhi Police intelligence report accessed by AajTak and India Today TV.
The intelligence report also noted farmers can come to Delhi by car, bike, metro, rail or bus. The farmers intend to march to Delhi from Ambala-Shambhu, Khanauri-Jind and Dabwali borders.
The report also stated that the farmers' unions conducted 40 rehearsals before the scheduled march, of which 10 were conducted in Haryana and 30 in Punjab. In Punjab, majority of these rehearsals were conducted in the border district of Gurdaspur.
Farmers from Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Kerala, and Karnataka are expected to participate in the agitation. Farmer organisations have organised over 100 meetings in connection with the agitation.
The farmers' unions, including Samyukta Kisan Morcha and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, called for the march to draw the Central government's attention to many demands such as the enactment of a law ensuring a minimum support price (MSP) for crops.
The Delhi Police report also said anti-social elements may participate in this agitation and disrupt law and order.
Some of these farmers are also likely to gather outside the official residences of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda and other senior BJP leaders before entering Delhi, the report noted.
