The farmers' protest at several interstate borders of Delhi with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh continued for the 16th day on Friday as their leaders strategised for the proposed intensification of their agitation across the country. Tens of thousands of more protesters from Punjab and Haryana were set to join them on the Singhu border by Saturday evening.

Farmers continued to be adamant on their demand for the repeal of the three new central agricultural laws. Their leaders asserted that in case the central government brought forth fresh positive proposals, they would resume parleys.
