Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has welcomed the Union government's decision allowing farmers to enter the national capital and hold peaceful agitation.

Delhi Police on Friday allowed protestors to hold their protest at north Delhi's Nirankari Ground - one of the biggest grounds in the national capital

Massive traffic jams were also reported from Singhu border, Tikri border and Delhi-Gurugram border because of the protest.

Earlier, the Delhi Police had sought permission from the AAP government to use the city's nine stadiums as temporary jails for the agitating farmers.

Farmers' bodies said they will hold a dharna wherever they are stopped from moving towards the national capital.

The Haryana government on Thursday completely sealed its borders with Punjab.

The situation remained tense at the Shambu inter-state border on the national highway as protesting farmers threw police barricades into the Ghaggar river.

The farmers protesting against the Centre's farm laws are assembling near Haryana borders with tractor-trolleys carrying ration and essentials for their proposed Delhi march.  

As per the police estimates, around 2,00,000 farmers from Punjab are set to leave for Delhi as part of their 'Delhi Chalo' agitation from November 26.
