A meeting between the farmer leaders and the central ministers will be held in Chandigarh on Thursday.
A US Embassy spokesperson said, “We recognize that peaceful protests are a hallmark of any thriving democracy, and note that the Indian Supreme Court has stated the same. We encourage that any differences between the parties be resolved through dialogue.”
The police have strengthened security at the Ghazipur border protest site by setting up barbed wire fences, barricades and spikes on the road and have dug up trenches to stop the farmers from entering the national capital. The measures have been put in place after the tractor rally violence that took place on the Republic Day.
