The farmers protesting against the three central farm laws are organising a ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar on Sunday.
The Uttar Pradesh government has ramped up security arrangements in view of the farmers’ gathering.
Six companies of the provincial armed constabulary and two companies of rapid action force are being deployed in Muzaffarnagar.
DIG of Saharanpur range Preetinder Singh said on Saturday that the event will be video-recorded while five SSPs, seven ASPs and 40 police inspectors will be posted on security duty.
