The Delhi Police on Sunday said it has deployed its personnel at border areas as a precautionary measure in the wake of a protest call by farmers in neighbouring States.
According to Jasmeet Singh, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), East district, police have been deployed at Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border as a cautionary measure.
Two companies of forces have been deployed by the Delhi Police near Ashok Nagar -- Ghazipur side, the police said, adding that there are no protesters at the border as of now. The force has also been put on alert at the Delhi-Haryana border.
The development comes after the Bharatiya Kisan Union's Haryana unit announced that it will hold a statewide protest against the Centre's farm bills on Sunday during which its members will block roads for three hours, even as Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar appealed for deferring the stir and invited them for talks.
