Large numbers of farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh marched towards the national capital to push for their demands. However, their progress was halted at the Punjab-Haryana Shambhu border, where the police resorted to firing tear gas on the protesters. The police have installed concrete slabs, iron nails, barricades, and barbed wires as barriers to block the entry of farmers into the capital

In the national capital, the Delhi Police has implemented Section 144, which prohibits the entry of tractor trolleys and large gatherings as a measure to maintain public order and security.

The protests caused significant traffic jams at the Delhi-Noida and Delhi-Ghaziabad borders. To ease congestion, authorities banned goods-carrying vehicles from using the Greater Noida Expressway to enter Delhi.
