Farmers’ Protest Intensifies At Ghazipur Border, Scene Tense As Additional Police Deployed

Huge security arrangements were made at the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border at Ghazipur on the evening of January 28 as farmers protesting against the Centre's contentious farm laws remained locked in a face-off with the police. Uttar Pradesh decided to take action two days after the violence during the Republic Day tractor rally. The local administration had asked the farmers to end their protest and vacate the road by the night on January 28. But the farmers have refused to budge, with their leader Rakesh Tikait declaring that he is "ready to face bullets" if needed. The other two key borders, Tikri & the epicentre of farmers' protest, Singhu, have also been placed under heavy security. Watch the video to know more.
