New Delhi: Thousands of protesting farmers camping at the Singhu and Tikri border points of the national capital took out a tractor march against Centre’s three farm laws, broke police barricades and clashed with cops on Tuesday morning forcing the police to order a mild lathi-charge on protesters as they forced their way into the capital city.
According to officials, security personnel tried hard to convince the farmers that they have been given permission to hold their tractor parade in Delhi after the Republic Day parade at the Rajpath concludes. “But some groups of farmers did not relent and started moving towards the Outer Ring Road breaking police barricades,” an official said.
