"Ambala deputy commissioner Parth Gupta, SSP Nanak Singh, and SP Surinder Singh Bhoria met us at Rajpura in Punjab (around 13 km from Shambhu),"" said Sarwan Singh Pandher, coordinator for KMM.

"They asked us to wait for a day as the Haryana administration is occupied with the PM's visit on Monday. They also informed us that we cannot proceed to Delhi without permission from Delhi Police."

"We will wait for a day to see the response from the Haryana administration and decide our next steps accordingly," he said.
