Authorities are likely to implement heightened security measures in the vicinity of the rally to ensure public safety and monitor the demonstration closely. Given the size of the convoy, significant traffic disruptions are also expected along the route.

The protest underscores farmers’ concerns over government policies affecting the agricultural sector, including trade agreements and regulations.
