On Friday, Delhi Police curtailed movement at several places, including Dhansa, Jharoda Kalan, Tikri, Gurugram, Singhu and Chilla, to prevent protesting farmers from entering Delhi.
Sections of Outer Ring Road, Mukarba Chowk, GT Karnal Road, NH-44 were also closed.
The restrictions led to chaos and confusion among commuters who were stuck for hours.
Farmers, representing over 30 farm bodies, have called for a 'Delhi Chalo' march through several routes -- Lalru, Shambhu, Patiala-Pehowa, Patran-Khanauri, Moonak-Tohana, Ratia-Fatehabad and Talwandi-Sirsa.
They have been demanding that the central government repeal the new farm laws, which, they say, should be replaced with another set of legislations framed after wider consultations with the stakeholders.(With PTI inputs)
