The agreement was signed between Delhi Police and senior SKM members P Krishna Prasad, Hanan Mollah, Prem Singh Gehlawat, and Ashish Mittal, the report said.

What are the conditions?

Earlier farmer leaders had claimed that cultivators from several states will converge in the national capital, with more than 50,000 from Punjab alone. Under the agreement, however, not more than 5,000 participants will be allowed at the venue. The ground is said to have a capacity of around 1.25 lakh.

Meanwhile, on the eve of the mahapanchayat, the Delhi Traffic Police released a traffic advisory, alerting the commuters about the traffic regulations and diversions of routes.

The advisory states that the movement of traffic will be regulated from 6 am to 4 pm on select routes, and diversions could be imposed on a few other roads starting 6 am. People, therefore, must plan their commute accordingly, it said.
