Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava on Tuesday defended the heightened security measures at city borders, saying the force has "strengthened" barricades so that they cannot be broken again.
With multi-layered barricading, iron nails on road, barbed wires, iron rods between cemented barriers and deployment of DTC buses and extra personnel on ground, the tremendous security cover at and near the farmers' protest locations have now become sites of unusual attraction.
