Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait and his supporters will gather for the last time on Wednesday morning at the UP Gate flyover on the Ghazipur border to perform a ‘havan’ to mark the end of the agitation. Tikait will then lead a victory march to his village Sisauli in Muzaffarnagar. Farmer leaders said that the Ghazipur border picket site would be cleared by Wednesday morning. Small batches of protesters are still present there.
At the Singhu border, the Delhi Police on Tuesday broke down almost all the barricades that were put up to prevent the protesting farmers from moving towards the national capital. Farmers started leaving the protest site on the Delhi-Haryana border on Saturday after the United Kisan Morcha (SKM) called off the agitation after the Center repealed three agricultural laws and the government conceded to its other demands.
Barricades on Singhu border almost removed
A senior police officer said that concrete barriers and other obstructions have been removed from the Singhu border. However, the road has not yet been opened for traffic. Besides the Singhu border, farmers mainly from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh laid siege to Delhi’s Tikri and Ghazipur borders on November 26 last year. Another police officer said that the roads at Tikri border have been cleared for commuters and traffic is plying on this route. Agriculture laws were repealed by Parliament on 29 November.
