Delhi Police on January 24 said it has allowed the farmers’ tractor march in the city on Republic Day, with adequate security arrangements in place. Three routes were finalised following a week of meetings between farmers and senior police officers. Police said more than 7,000 tractors from Tikri border, 5,000 from Singhu and 1,000 from Ghazipur will join the rally. Meanwhile, farmer unions opposing the Centre's new agri laws said on January 23 that over two lakh tractors will be part of the January 26 'kisan parade' in the national capital and around 2,500 volunteers will be deployed to facilitate the movement of the vehicles. The number of volunteers can be increased, depending on the crowd, and a control room has been set up to look into the arrangements, they said. The tractor parades will be taken out only after 12 pm, after the Republic Day parade on Delhi's Rajpath concludes, according to the protesting farmer unions.
