Singhu Border:Police use tear gas, water cannon on farmers

Today is a day 2 of farmers' protest against farm laws. Thousands of farmers have moved closer to Delhi on Thursday with the police enhancing deployment of security personnel and using sand-laden trucks, water cannons and tear gas shells to prevent the protesters from entering the city as part of their ‘Delhi Chalo’ march. After face-off with police at multiple places, farmers continued their march through the night and are now only a few kilometres away from Delhi. This has prompted the Delhi Police to close traffic movement at the Singhu Border in view of the farmers’ protest Centre’s farm laws. Delhi Metro services from neighbouring cities are set to remain suspended today as well. According to the latest update, Police used tear gas shells, water cannons as farmers continue their protest against farm laws.
