A heavy contingent of police has been deployed at Delhi's Ramlila ground ahead of Kisan Mahapanchayat being organised by Samyukt Kisan Morcha on Monday, an official said here.
The Delhi Police said the gathering of the farmers can cause traffic problems and untoward incidents can take place.
The Mahapanchyat will be held at the Eco Garden and had been scheduled before Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the repeal of the three contentious farm laws on November 19.
Even the security personnel were obstructed during the protest and when defence personnel were travelling, they were stopped and heckled, it added.
Kisan Mahapanchayat took place Tuesday morning during which an 11-member farmers' delegation went to meet Karnal Deputy Commissioner to submit a memorandum of their demands.
Rahul Gandhi who posted a picture of what the BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya later claimed 'a very old' photo of Kisan Mahapanchayat, saw the BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra spewing fire and brimstone at him.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kisan Morcha national president and Lok Sabha member from Fatehpur Sikri, Rajkumar Chahar told IANS that he was fulfilling his political ambition by putting guns on farmers' shoulders.
The Muzaffarnagar Mahapanchayat will reportedly decide the future course of the ongoing farmers' agitation. The Samajwadi Party and the Rashtriya Lok Dal have announced support for the event.
The Mahapanchayat will take place on the GIC grounds and farmer leaders from various states will participate in it, he said.
