The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre and the Punjab government to ensure necessary medical aid to the convener of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on a fast-unto-death at the Khanouri border in support of farmers agitating for a legal guarantee on minimum support price for crops.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said that they have not received any response or invitation for talks from the Centre.
Dhankhar expressed confidence in a peaceful resolution, urging farmers to abandon confrontational attitudes.
In view of the proposed march, police personnel, along with the Rapid Action Force (RAF) and a riot control vehicle, have been stationed at the Chilla border to prevent protesters from entering Delhi.
The SKM will also organise an all-India tractor rally on February 26.
Meanwhile, the farm leaders will hold talk with Union ministers Piyush Goyal, Arjun Munda and Nityananad Rai, for the third time in a row, in Chandigarh
We want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold a dialogue with farmers or else we should be allowed to protest peacefully
Speaking on the ongoing farmers' protest, Munda, who is also negotiating with farmer leaders, said, "The way things are being said by (farmer) organisations and the way they are said, instead of solving the problems, they are trying to add to those problems, creating difficulties for the people."
Delhi borders bear a fortified look, with security personnel deployed in large numbers and barricades laid out across all possible entry points.
Around 200 unions of farmers are marching towards Delhi to protest against government.
