At many locations in the capital city, protesting farmers clashed with police and reached the historic Red Fort and ITO in the heart of the country’s capital, with hundreds of them straying from negotiated paths, forcing security staff to react with lathicharge and tear gas.
The tractor rally will represent the conclusion of two months of agitation by farmers protesting on the outskirts of Delhi against Centre’s controversial farm rules. On February 1, the day the Union Budget will be unveiled, farmers’ leaders have confirmed a decision to march on foot to Parliament.
Farmers enter Red Fort, central Delhi; Tear gas, lathi charge at ITO, Singhu, Ghazipur border; Protesting farmers breach police barricades; Delhi Police charts three rally routes; Maharashtra farmers demonstrate in unity at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan.
