New Delhi:
What was supposed to be a strictly monitored and disciplined rally of tractors today turned into a virtual free-for-all as protesting farmers entered the heart of Delhi, veering several kilometres off the agreed route. Neither the police nor the farmer leaders looked in control of the situation as key locations of the national capital, from ITO to the Red Fort, turned into a sea of tractors and other vehicles. Some of them even began to drive in a haphazard manner amid the milling ground, seemingly to threaten the assembled policemen.

Singhu, Delhi:Â As the night descended, thick fog shrouded the area. Water droplets constantly drip from the ceiling corners of the tent. An indistinct chatter can be heard afar.
The sound of a roaring Royal Enfield breaks the silence. A bike with saffron Khalsa flag pivoted at the front-end arrives and a man riding pillion, holding a united farmerâs flag, screams âKisan-Mazdoor ektaâ. People from all around, with blankets draped around their shoulder, immediately reply by saying, âZindabadâ.
