Protesting farmers will hold a 100-km tractor rally in the national capital on the occasion of Republic Day after getting a go-ahead from the Delhi Police on Saturday. However, farmers have not yet given any route in writing, claimed Delhi police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar had said that the tractor parades will start from the Singh, Ghazipur and Tikri border points of Delhi. The finer details of the routes will be finalised later in the day, he had said after attending a meeting of the unions and police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police, however, seemed to contradict the claims as farmers have not given them any route in writing. We will let you know once we receive a route in writing, said Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On January 26, farmers will carry out the Kisan Gantantra Parade(Farmers Republic Parade), the barricades set up at Delhi border points will be removed, to let the tractor rallies enter the national capital, said farmer leader Darshan Pal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Farmer leaders said the parade would be carried out peacefully and will have no effect on the official Republic Day event or its security arrangements. Gurnam Singh of Bharatiya Kisan Union appealed to the farmers participating in the parade to maintain discipline and follow the instruction issued by the committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hundreds of thousands of farmers from Haryana, Punjab and western Uttar Pradesh, who are protesting against the three agricultural laws for almost two months, have planned to drive tractors through New Delhi with the Tricolour and balloons on their tractors. They have expected the representation of at least 20 states and decided to display tableaux of all states during their tractor parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, while negotiating with the farmer union leaders, police had tried convincing farmers to hold their protest at the border and not march inwards, but couldn\u2019t reach an agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
