Closure of Entry from Punjab to Haryana and Delhi: Impact on Farmers and Travelers

The entry of vehicles coming from Punjab to Haryana or Delhi has been closed. This decision was made after various farmer organizations completed their preparations for the march in Delhi on 13th February, announced by the United Farmers Front. As a result, Punjab farmers will enter Haryana to reach Delhi on 10,000 tractor trolleys. For this purpose, the Shambhu Border, Dabwali, and Khanouri Border have been selected. In order to prevent Punjab farmers from taking the Haryana route to reach Delhi, Section 144 has been imposed in Ambala. In addition, cement barricades and barbed wires have been placed near the Shambhu Border, and now the bridge over the Ghaggar River has also been closed. As a result, vehicles coming from Punjab to Haryana are being turned back. While barricades have been set up at the Shambhu Border in Ambala, there are no restrictions on vehicles going from Haryana to Punjab. This situation has caused difficulties for people who need to travel from Punjab to Haryana. Most of the affected individuals were those traveling to the airport, who faced significant challenges. During this time, there were also heated arguments between people from Punjab and the Haryana police.
