Agitators to march to Delhi from Sambhu border

As per the information shared on social media, farmers will be marching to Delhi from Shambhu border on Wednesday morning.

During the march, the poclain machine will be used to break the barricades on the roads. It is being claimed that the driver's cabin has been custom designed as a bulletproof cabin with thick iron sheets, so that even bullets would remain ineffective on it.
