- State government, Haryana, Delhi
To stop the Delhi Chalo march, Haryana announced it would seal its border with Punjab, and police placed cement and steel barricades, dumpers and trucks on roads at the Shambhu border and other crossing points. Farmers removed many of these, and at most points police let them through after face-offs. The Tribune reported that the national highway near Karhans village (Panipat) was dug up and stone pillars raised to stop the farmers. The Quint reported trenches dug on highways leading to Delhi on the night of 26-27 November, and an unnamed police officer told NDTV that the aim was to delay farmers from Punjab so that they did not reach Karnal. The Quint also reported that Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had ordered police to stop protesters from reaching the capital. On the Delhi side, PTI reported that the Delhi Police stationed five sand-laden trucks at the Singhu border to stop tractor-trolleys. [3][2][1][4]
