Farmers have been fighting in Delhi’s borders for 70 days against the agrarian laws enacted by the central government. But the central government, which has so far not been willing to listen to the demands of farmers, is making every effort to curb the protests.
Yesterday, Delhi Police under the central government started planting iron spikes on the road to prevent the entry of tractors to the protest sites at Singhu, Tikri and Gazipur borders.

A concrete cement mix is being poured and barbed wire fenced to create a wall between two barricades on the Gazipur border.

Peaceful Protest or War??
Installing spikes & barricading just to clampdown the farmers' voice is not at all justified

The protests of peasants at the Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders of Delhi has only gotten bigger and intense. More and more farmers with their tractors are coming from Haryana, Punjab, and UP borders. Against this backdrop, the central government has put in place multiple barricades along with increased security. In addition, late-night trenches have been dug in the roads. Police have brought labourers from UP to put up iron nails on the road to puncture the tyres of the vehicles coming in.
which law is permitting Delhi police to place deadly barricading and fencing.? Barricading isn't allowed to kill citizens, even though, Madras Hc Said "There must be sign/caution board before the barricading in a legible manner"#FencingLikeChinaPak pic.twitter.com/9vZNE1uIob

Delhi Police and Rapid action force are present at the protest site in riot gear with iron batons. Many are questioning the need for so much force at the site of peaceful protests. Delhi Police personnel of Shahdara district have been given iron batons to protect themselves.
“The aim is to protect our personnel from attacks by any sword or sharp-edged weapon. It is for their self-defence. This initiative was taken by SHOs of the respective police stations of Shahdara district,” a senior police officer said.
