Latest News : Thousands of farmers held fort at the Delhi-UP border here Tuesday after police stopped their protest march to the national capital with several including the security personnel getting injured in sporadic violence, as the protesters refused to go back and rejected the government’s assurance to look into their demands.
While the Opposition blamed the Modi government for what they called a “brutal police action” against farmers on way to Rajghat on Gandhi Jayanti for a peaceful protest, the police said it used “minimal force” to disperse the crowd and to maintain law and order in the national capital.
The protesters, many of whom said they have come from as far as Haridwar over 200 kms away after a week-long march, appeared ready to stay put at the border with hundreds of tractors and trolleys with food, water, mattresses and even generators parked alongside the roads for over a kilometre of distance.

The protesters, which included women and elderly men as well, tried jumping barricades from time to time, prompting the police to use water cannons and tear-gas shells, and kept raising slogans against the government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Delhi Police deployed over 3,000 personnel to stop the protesters from crossing over to the national capital and check any violence, even as traffic situation turned chaotic in various border areas.
As leaders from opposition parties accused the government of adopting an “anti-farmer” stand by stopping the protesters, the central government went into a huddle to find out ways and an emergency meeting was called under chairmanship of Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
