Heavy security At Delhi Borders Ahead Farmer’s Protests, Here Are The 10 Points:
Apart from the Delhi police, auxiliary forces have been instituted at the borders, which include Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur. Every vehicle has been inspected by the police which is causing heavy traffic jams in the city.
The forces in heavy numbers are also deployed at railway tracks, bus stations and metro stations so that any impulsive incident can be avoided. As per officials, the Delhi Police had also asked the commuters to avoid travelling through some specific routes.
“The farmers’ “mahapanchayat” has been called by Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body which comprises around 40 farmer organisations, alleging rising unemployment in the country.”
The farmers are also demanding to implement minimum support price (MSP) effectively for the crops. They are aiming toward the cases against farmers being rectified by the Government that was registered against them while protesting against the farm laws.
“Last week, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha had organised a demonstration in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri, “seeking justice” in the 2021 violence case. Eight people, including four farmers, were allegedly run over by Union Minister Ajay Mishra’s son Ashish in Lakhimpur Kheri in October last year,” mentioned by News18.
Leader Rakesh Tikait, on Sunday, was detained by the police at the Ghazipur border while trying to enter the National Capital to be a part of “mahapanchayat”.
“This struggle will continue till the last breath. Won’t stop, won’t get tired, won’t bow down,” words tweeted by Rakesh Tikait in Hindi after being released and sent back by the Police.
Moreover, the farmer leader said that he will meet the seniors of SKM to “strategise their future course of action” in Delhi on September 6.
