The Haryana police are gearing up for the upcoming Samyukt Kisan Morcha protest on April 11, with extensive law and order measures in place across the state. According to an official statement, a high-level meeting chaired by Director General of Police Ajay Singhal emphasized the need for readiness against potential disruptions by anti-social elements.
