Due to the farmer’s Delhi Chalo protest, section 144 was implemented at Delhi’s borders. In response to the farmers’ call for a March on Delhi on February 13, Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora announced the implementation of Section 144 throughout the whole city.
According to Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora on Monday, in order to preserve law and order, prohibitive orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) have been issued throughout Delhi, prohibiting mass gatherings, ahead of the farmers’ intended ‘Delhi Chalo‘ march on February 13.
Iron nails and concrete blocks have been used to fortify the borders in order to keep protesting cars out of the city. Commuters experienced disruptions on Monday morning due to the traffic movement in Delhi’s border areas as a result of the measures.
