The farmers' tractor rally on Republic Day in New Delhi that was meant to be peaceful and a platform to express their demands, took a violent turn as a section of protesters broke through police barricades and entered parts of the national capital not permitted for their protest. The path taken by this section reportedly deviated from the route that farmers' unions had agreed upon in their talks with the Delhi Police.
