Farmers from Punjab, Haryana and other parts of the country braved tear gas shells, water cannons to continue their march marching towards Delhi as part of their protest.
By last evening, all barricades put up by the Haryana Police at the border with Punjab and along the highway to Delhi had been lifted.
Hundreds of farmers entered the national capital to hold a peaceful protest at a ground in north Delhi, while thousands are still at border points.
"We have again started heading towards Delhi in the morning after a night halt at Meham in Rohtak district of Haryana," said Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta-Ugrahan) leader Shingara Singh on Saturday.
Farmers protesting against the Centre's agriculture laws fear that the laws would lead to the dismantling of the minimum support price system, leaving them at the "mercy" of big corporates.
The Centre has invited a number of Punjab farmer organisations for another round of talks in the national capital on December 3.
