Asked if the police can issue such a notice, Regional Transport Officer Rajeshwar Yadav said he was not aware of any such thing.

Ram Govind Chaudhary, meanwhile, said: "The farmers have tractors, and they are going to the protest site by tractors. Police have issued the notices to hinder the farmers movement."
