Day 2 of farmer protest
Protesting farmers will soon resume their march towards Delhi after a night halt. A fresh attempt will be made to push forward against a huge security deployment to reach the capital with a list of their key demands.
The farmers, who had declared a “ceasefire” last night, said today they will resume their march to Delhi as the government was not listening to their demands. They have also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to solve their problems.
Delhi’s border points, which link the city with its key satellite towns, are choked. Traffic is heavy on both sides of the DND flyover due to checking, Delhi Traffic Police said this morning, advising commuters between Delhi and Noida to take alternative routes like the Chilla Border route.
Tuesday saw a flashback of the 2020-21 protest with tear gas and water cannons being used to prevent the farmers from crossing the Punjab-Haryana border. The protest three years ago had lasted 13 months, choking the Delhi borders.
