Police utilized tear gas on farmers’ groups and also resorted to baton charges as demonstrators broke through tractor fences at various border points and also did not take the pre-decided roads to march throughout the national capital.

In Singhu, a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus has been vandalized as well as at least two police vehicles have been destroyed.
Rakesh Tikait, the spokesman for one of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) participating farmers’ groups, claimed they wanted to hold a peaceful tractor rally, but the uncertainty over the path to be observed led to chaos.
Only after the end of the official Republic Day march on the Rajpath the Delhi Police grant permission to farmers protesting towards the three farm laws to stage their tractor march on specific routes.
