Bharat Bandh LIVE: The farmer unions protesting against the Centre’s 3 farm laws have called for a countrywide ‘chakka jam’ on Saturday. During the three-hour chakka jam, the farmers have planned to block all national, state highways to re- revive their agitation diminished by the violence that took place in the national capital during the tractor rally on January 26. The Delhi Police has deployed additional measures, including tightening security and intensifying vigil at the city’s border points, to deal with any situation emerging out of the proposed ‘chakka jam’.
