Protesting Farmers Hoist Nishan Saheb Flag At Red Fort, Taken Down By Cops

 New Delhi: Farmers tractor rally against the Centre's three contentious agricultural laws turned violent after protesters entered Red Fort and wave their flags from the ramparts on Tuesday. Chaos and ruckus were reported from various parts of the border areas of Delhi as the protesters entered the capital city defying agreement of the scheduled time for the tractor rally

Vandalism was also reported from ITO where the Police Headquarters are situated

The police had to resort to tear gas shells firing and mild lathi-charge to contain the situation. However, within the hour it was the farmers running the show, with tractors menacingly running at crazy speed towards police platoons, who were forced to take cover
