Singhu is a village in the North West Delhi district of the National Capital Region (India).[1] Since, Singhu is the border between the states of Delhi and Haryana, it is also called the Singhu Border.[2]
History
[edit]Singhu Border became popular during the Indian farmers protest of 2020/2021 when the Indian government erected walls on a flank of the main highway to prevent Haryana protestors from reaching Delhi.[2] As of 21 March 2021, according to Haryana Police, around 18,000-19,000 committed protestors were sitting at the Delhi border at Singhu.[3]
