The Union Home Ministry has ordered to temporarily suspend telecom services in border areas of Delhi – Singhu, Ghazipur, Tikri, Mukarba Chowk, Nangloi — from 12:00 pm to 11:59 pm after clashes between protesting farmers and security personnel escalated on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha issued a joint statement on clashes during farmers’ protest, distancing itself from the ‘violent elements’.
Groups of protesting farmers on Tuesday entered Red Fort after breaking police barricades, attacking personnel and even vandalising a bus at ITO. Meanwhile, one protester has been killed near ITO after he was shot at and the tractor he was driving turned turtle. A cop has also been injured at Red Fort.
