Farmers' movement to continue peacefully: Union

January 27, 2021 08:17

The farmers' movement will continue peacefully and further steps will be decided soon, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, farmer unions' body, has said in a statement.

This comes after the rioting farmers broke barriers to storm the national capital on Tuesday, overturned vehicles and hoisted a religious flag from the ramparts of the Red Fort.

Clashes broke out at multiple places, leading to violence in well-known landmarks of Delhi and its suburbs amid waves of violence that ebbed and flowed through the day.

A protester died after his tractor overturned near ITO, one of the major flashpoints of trouble. In a statement, the police said protesting farmers violated the conditions agreed on for their tractor parade.
