The strengthened security measures at the agitation sites across the borders come after the violence during the Republic Day tractor parade by protesting farmers
The scene was quite different just three days ago.

Morale plummeted and many farmers returned home.
On Wednesday night, the atmosphere was tense at Ghazipur.

As security presence at the site escalated and fears grew that the protesters would be forcibly evicted, an emotional Tikait broke down while talking to reporters.
