Farmers, protesting at Delhi borders over the Centre s farm laws, are all geared up to carry out a tractor march on Republic Day on Tuesday. The farmers union reached an
agreement with the Delhi Police on Sunday to carry out the tractor march peacefully. Three routes, originating from Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur border points, have been finalized for the march, a farmer leader said.
The
Delhi Police said that the first route will begin from Singhu border and will move from Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar to Bawana. Similarly, 62-km long second route will pass through Nangloi-Najafgarh and Jharoda after starting from Tikri border. The third route will lead to Apsara border and Hapur after starting from Ghazipur. All of these processions will converge at Kundli Manesar Palwal Expressway (KMP).
The Centre mentioned that it has come to the knowledge of the security agencies that a small group of protesting individuals or organisations have planned to carry out a tractor march on Republic Day.
