New Delhi:
Thousands of farmers, after facing tear gas, water cannons and heavy police action over the past three days, started gathering at a ground near the outskirts of Delhi on Friday for a massive protest against new farm laws.
Action shifted to the “Nirankari Ground” in Burari in north Delhi, where farmers headed after several hours of confrontation with the police at different points on the capital’s border with Haryana.
In the afternoon, Delhi Police said the farmers would be escorted to a designated site for their protest.
“Farmers are coming from Punjab, Haryana and other states to protest against farm bills. For our farmer brothers, the Delhi government has made arrangements for water and other facilities,” Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) tweeted.
