New Delhi: Given the call by union leaders urging farmers from across the country to reach the national capital on Wednesday, March 6, the Delhi police have elaborated the security arrangements at the city's railway stations and interstate bus terminals.

The two umbrella bodies-Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) that are spreading this farmers' agitation gave the call on March 3, requesting the farmers to reach Delhi on March 6 and asked them to avoid travel via tractor but reach private vehicles, trains and buses.
