There is massive police presence at potential hotspots and already, water cannons have been used to disperse crowds. Farmers chucked some steel barricades into the Ghaggar river from the bridge where they had been stopped.

Expressing his anger over the treatment of farmers by the Haryana government, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Thursday said the use of "brute force" against them is "totally undemocratic and unconstitutional". "We are doing our duty".

He also posted a video of the farmers continuing on their way after removing the barricades. No shipping containers can stop them.

"Those claiming it's @INCIndia that's instigating the farmers are blind not to see the lakhs of farmers trying to enter Delhi from across the country". The police also tried to convince them by establishing barricades. Multi-level barricading has been put in many places. "The same information was shared by my counterparts also", he said. Yadava also urged the farmers to be vigilant against those who try to mislead them to grind their own axe.
