A day after farmers protesting against the three new farm laws entered New Delhi, security was tightened at a number of spots in the national capital. Delhi Police have deployed personnel at the Singhu border as well as the Red Fort, reports ANI. Both the places witnessed demonstrations as well as violent clashes between security forces and protesting farmers on Tuesday.

A group of protestors climbed to the ramparts of the Red Fort and unfurled flags on Tuesday. The Singhu border has been the main site of protest for the farmers for over 60 days now.

Protesting farmers broke police barricades and moved

7,000 tractors assembled on Tuesday, according to PTI.

Rerouting from the originally proposed route, however,
the protestors marched ahead, meeting with the protestors from the Gazipur border at the ITO.

In a clip circulated widely on social media on
Tuesday with various edited versions, a Sikh religious flag was seen to be added
alongside the tricolour during the demonstrations.

With various claims doing the rounds throughout the
day, including it being associated with the Khalistan movement, the flag was
later stated to be the ‘Nishan Saahib’, a religious flag associated with Sikhism.

Punjabi actor Deep Sandhu, who was at the site on
Tuesday, marked putting up the religious flag as an act of symbolic protest.

Delhi Police said on Wednesday that over 100 of its personnel were injured during the protests, and registered 22 FIRs in
connection violence that broke out during the farmers’ tractor parade.
