Farmers Protesting, Violent Rioting at Tikri Border and Singhu, while the Police remained the silent spectators: Updates

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.
