A group of 200 farmers reached Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Thursday to resume their protest against the three contentious farm laws that were passed by the Centre in last year’s monsoon session. Police beefed up security in central Delhi as well as at the national capital’s border points and kept a tight vigil on the movement of vehicles. 

The 200 farmers wore identification badges and carried flags of their unions as they travelled to Jantar Mantar from their Singhu border protest site in buses with a police escort.
