Around two lakh people will join the historic March in over 40,000 vehicles that will start from all three Sikh religious Takhts to Chandigarh on Thursday.
The march from Sri Amritsar Sahib-led by Sukhbir Singh Badal would travel via Jalandhar, Phagwara, Nawanshahr, Ropar, Kurali, and Mullanpur before culminating at Chandigarh.
Due to a shortage of time, all three Kisan Marches would proceed directly towards Raj Bhawan instead of assembly at Dussehra ground first as planned earlier.
