The farmer’s peaceful protest turned to violence:
After violence broke out between protesters as well as police workers at Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar that eventually spread to different locations, the farmers’ Republic Day tractor marches in Delhi took a devastating toll.
On Tuesday, farmers who reported to be conducting a peaceful protest reverted to violence. The Delhi Police uses tear gas to clear the farmers gathering at the venue in an effort to monitor the situation. In their course, the farmers went on to destroy barricades as well as to vandalize land, violating the pre-designated street.
