Cement barriers, barbed wire, spikes on roads and policemen in large numbers dominated farmers protest sites on the city s borders Tuesday as the Opposition created a ruckus in Parliament over the three agri-marketing laws which the protesters want repealed. Both Houses of Parliament faced repeated adjournments as Opposition members disrupted proceedings, demanding a discussion on the central laws enacted last September.
