The Delhi Police Tuesday resorted to lathicharge and tear gasoline on the Singhu border and later in ITO after protesting farmers breached barricades set as much as thwart them from coming into the nationwide capital. The police had given farmers permission to enter town and maintain their tractor parade after the official Republic Day parade at Rajpath.
However, stressed farmers at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders tried to enter town as early as 8 am on foot and on their tractors. While some volunteers tried to maintain the scenario below management, and a few even held talks with the police, a number of teams managed to knock down the barricades and proceed onward. Chaos and confusion have been reported in some areas.
In Sonipat, however, the scenario remained peaceable with the youth singing revolutionary songs on their tractors and jeeps.
The large tractor parade Tuesday not solely coincides with Republic Day, but in addition the completion of two months of farmers’ protests at Delhi’s borders in opposition to the three lately enacted farm legal guidelines. While the police has restricted the parade to five,000 individuals and 5,000 tractors, farmers predict some two lakh tractors to take part.

On Monday, tons of of tractors rolled into Delhi from neighbouring states and assembled on the borders. They have been embellished with balloons and nationwide flags for the parade. Farmers will transfer down a 46 km route, one after one other. Not simply tractors, protesters will likely be on foot and on bikes as effectively. Farmers have been requested to drive ‘aaram-aaram se’ (slowly).
Not simply Delhi, farmers in Haryana, Punjab and Karnataka may even maintain related protests at this time.
