Multi-layered security has been stepped up with the deployment of extra personnel and strengthening of barricades near the farmers’ protest sites at Delhi’s borders, and thereby turning them into fortresses.
Besides additional deployment of forces, the Delhi Police have cemented nails near barricades at Ghazipur (Delhi-Ghaziabad) and Tikri (Delhi-Rohtak) borders. Police have also heavily barricaded the Ghazipur border. Barbed wire and cement barricades have been planted on the roads to restrict the movement of farmers.
