  • Farmers, who have been camping at Delhi's borders since November to protest the three farm laws, were allowed by the police on Sunday to hold their massive tractor rally.

    The permission came with riders—farmers were allowed to ply their tractors on designated path and only after R-Day's main parade ends.

    But protesters changed route, broke barricades, clashed with cops, and even stormed Red Fort.

  • Violence was reported from Delhi's borders, ITO (seen as the heart of the national capital), and the historic Mughal monument. Protesters drove their tractors into the Red Fort complex and hoisted flags, other than the tricolor, there.

    Videos from Old Delhi showed farmers attacking police personnel with sticks; cops jumped off the walls of Red Fort to save themselves from blows.
