Along with the order banning the assembly of more than five people, the district administration has also issued a traffic advisory with planned route diversions.

Haryana Bhartiya Kisan Union (Chaduni) chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni on Monday said a big panchayat will be held in Karnal on Tuesday, after which farmers will proceed to gherao the mini-secretariat.
“Farmers will be gathering in Karnal’s New Anaj Mandi on Tuesday morning,” he said. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of various farmer outfits protesting against the farm laws, has threatened to lay siege to the Karnal mini-secretariat on September 7 if its demands were not met. The Haryana Police had lathicharged a group of farmers disrupting traffic movement on a national highway near here on August 28 while heading towards Karnal to protest against a BJP meeting. Over 10 protesters were injured.
