Farmers will not be allowed to enter central Delhi and their presence will be restricted to areas close to town border.
At a press convention organised by Delhi Police on Sunday, Special Commissioner of Police Intelligence, Deependra Pathak said that after a number of conferences with farmer unions, Delhi Police has come to an in-principle understanding with them concerning the tractor rally on Republic day. It will begin after the Republic Day parade ends on Rajpath.
Mr. Pathak stated that farmers will not be allowed to enter central Delhi and their presence will be restricted to areas close to town border. Thus, three round routes from Ghazipur, Singhu, and Tikri borders have been proposed by the Delhi Police. Farmers will be capable of take a round route from the three entry factors into town, which will be roughly 60 kilometres every.
“There will be high level of security for the rally to ensure that no anti-social elements breach upon the peaceful nature of the protests,” he assured.
“We will work together with the farmers to create a secure environment for the rally. We have faith and trust that the farmers will exit the route from where they entered and will not try to create any confusion within the Capital,” stated Mr. Pathak.
“There is a threat perception that some Pakistan-based extremist terror groups are trying to create problems during the farmer rally. We have identified and blocked 308 Pakistan-based Twitter handles after doing a professional analysis on social media over the past few days. Over 100km of the route permitted is within the limits of the National Capital,” he added.
Authorities estimate that round 12,000-13,000 tractors are current proper now at Delhi’s borders and so they anticipate the numbers to go up in a brief span of time.
