The agitating protesters applied tractors as shields and weapons to overcome the resistance place up by Delhi Police. The police had place up the barricades close to ITO but protesters broke them to proceed to Red Fort. In the confrontation, police personnel have been outnumbered by the protesters. The police had permitted the tractor rally but it was to occur in the peripheral area. The routes have been agreed upon by police and heads of unions. The farmers leaders had repeatedly mentioned that their tractor rally would take location on Outer Ring Road, and that it would not enter taking into consideration safety motives on republic Day.
But all these assurances did not support as a section of protesters went out of manage and occupied Red Fort in the heart of the national capital. In what could be defining moments in farmers’ two-months agitation, the protesters hoisted two distinct flags from the ramparts of Red Fort in Delhi. This is the really spot exactly where the Prime Minister unfurls the Tricolour on Independence Day each and every year. The police have now secured the ramparts of Lal Qila.
