Paramilitary forces have been asked to remain on high alert and may be instructed to move in if the need arises.

The Central government on Tuesday also ordered the suspension of Internet services till 11:59 pm at Delhi's border point points - Singhu, Ghazipur, Tikri, Mukarba Chowk, Nangloi and areas adjoining these protest hubs due to intensifying clashes between the police and farmers who are protesting the new agricultural laws.

Groups of protesting farmers camping at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur border points of New Delhi broke police barricades on Tuesday morning to force their way into the city, much ahead of the time they were granted permission by Delhi Police for their tractor parade.
