Addressing a press conference at Singhu Border here, union leaders said thousands of farmers will take out the tractor march from all protest sites to the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) on January 7.
Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav said the decision to defer the march was taken over the forecast of bad weather condition on Wednesday.
The city has been receiving rains sporadically over the past three days.
